      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?

          Not judging by his Google Scholar list. (Note: I am a plant scientist, but early in my career I ran the Phase 3 trials of what became ALEVE, so I know a bit about clinical trials.)

          We make antibodies to viruses that we cannot get a vaccine for, hepatitis C and HIV and even chronic viruses - so making antibodies is never a guarantee a vaccine will work. Hundreds of vaccines have made it to phase three and are now just a memory

          Furthermore, some vaccines cause people to become sicker, instead of less sick, when they are later exposed to the pathogen, via the process of antibody-dependent enhancement. Let's hurry up the testing, but let's not skip it.
