    He really doesn’t know what “compassionate use” means, does he?🙄🤦🏻‍♂️https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1290039948549091328 …

    FOLKS out there need to stop spreading misinformation about what they think I said. Before people dive into what they think they heard, read my summary BOTTOMLINE. We need expanded vaccine access now, not skip phase 3, but expanded Phase 3 trial for compassionate use volunteers. https://twitter.com/DrEricDing/status/1290025916790267904 …

        Its a terrible idea. If people want it that bad they should volunteer to be part of the trial. Outside of the trial no one should get the vaccine before its approved by the regulatory authorities

        Phase III trials have a placebo arm. That means that people joining it cannot be sure they are getting a vaccine. It also involves close monitoring of participants and producing the vaccine. What he has in mind is highly costly and could undermine validity of trial.

        I'm struggling to think of "compassionate use" for a prophylaxis. Maybe if you were going into a hot zone? But we live in a hot zone. Every day. My grocery store is a hot zone.

        Ebola vax, I think? But the Ebola virus is very different from SARS2

        So glad you said this. That was my immediate thought but I’m not a medical professional so thought I must misunderstand “compassionate use”.
