    I'm disappointed. This is an absolutely horrible idea.https://twitter.com/StevenSalzberg1/status/1289890177683316739 …

    We don't have to wait months for phase 3 trials of #COVID19 vaccines to finish. We have safe vaccines already, and millions of people (including me) would take them now if permitted. Just do it https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevensalzberg/2020/08/02/start-vaccinating-now/ …

        I mean, seriously Does he even know what the purpose of a phase 1 trial is?

        Steve should probably read about all the drugs that bombed out in phase 3 trials. 😬

        There’s a difference between ramping up production for a vaccine before it completes phase 3 trials and actually administering that vaccine widely outside the confines of a clinical trial. 1/2

        I’ve heard arguments for the former, it’s basically drug companies betting on the vaccine getting approved and having it available faster. But in no universe should that vaccine be widely used before the phase 3 trial is complete.

        indeed. you'd think he'd never seen the start of a decent zombie apocalypse movie - they always start with a brilliant new vaccine that goes horribly wrong. ;)

        This is nuts. The long history of phased drug trials should help everyone realize that a full Phase 3 trial is essential.

        I smell a rat! Who do you think is behind this? Think of who would benefit financially, and politically.
