Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise." Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms. Ethical violation as POLICY.

As a grant reviewer, what do you really wish people would do/not do? Not big things, like find a significant question/innovative method/be consistent with aims Little things, like bold each acronym the first time it’s used. Add your pet peeves ⬇️ #HiddenCurriculum #Research
