In an emergency situation, can healthy volunteers agree to intentional infection in clinical setting to test vaccines and perhaps treatments? Speeds the efficacy answer to two weeks. Safety testing miiiiight be streamlinable but I don’t know how. #coronavirus
In normal times this would be deeply unethical. Normal is last month. We would have plenty of volunteers today.
It is unlikely I’m the first person to think of this, obviously. But it might mean Trump knows more than he can tell us about the potential speed of a vaccine.
