Encouraging, but I really hope that they conduct their phase 3 in a believable way. I.e. open to scrutiny, good clinical practice, etc. I have little faith that wee, let alone they, can do that at this point.

You and I both know that will not happen.

Its a systemic impossibility.

I signed up for a COVID vaccine trial. They just called me to verify my info... but despite the website telling me there was a location in the Denver metro area... the nearest participating is actually 437 miles away somewhere in Nebraska or Kansas (or both). She thanked me and told me she'd let me know if they opened anything in Denver.

Fingers crossed we get a thoroughly tested, scrutinized vaccine sooner than later.
