Guest Posted October 13, 2020 Posted October 13, 2020 Guardian: "The pharmaceutical giant was unclear if the patient was administered a placebo or the experimental vaccine" Considering the urgency with vaccine development, I would hope neither the company nor the authorities require the trial to be suspended if someone on the placebo has a nasty reaction. I'm assuming the placebo is a well proven vaccine. Quote
