Whoever this Fernandez person is, he's a gods-be-damned Nazi experiment apologist, not to mention an amoral sociopath, and fuck him. This company should be shut down and no one should ever receive that vaccine. Period. If someone wants to do the research properly and ethically, fine. Start over and do it right. Because aside from anything else, there is no possible way to trust the supposed results and outcomes of this, now.
Any ethical researcher or physician should absolutely refuse to participate in any clinical trial associated with these people or their products and I would refuse to administer anything they manufactured, even if it was FDA approved.
There isn't enough rage to express my opinion on this. If Fernandez was involved in what Halford did, why the hell isn't he in prison? And oh btw, what Americans in St. Kitts and Nevis? Islands where most of the population is everything except white. WHAT THE HELL.
What did they do? Take a course in research ethics and check off every box of an historic example of what not to do? Hm, Nazis? Check. Tuskeegee? Check.
AUUUGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

OMFG. This screams shady! They are running secret "compassionate use" trials in the Dominican Republic??? Who is Dr. Veloz? What are her qualifications? Where's the scientific rigor? IRBs may be a pain in the ass, but one of the things a good one will do is vet the study design to determine if it's even a valid set-up, never mind the incredible risks to the patients. And people agreed to invest in this? What.the.hell.

Yeah, I read about this last week at In The Pipeline.
ReplyDeleteLoewe is a good bit more sympathetic to Thiel than he needs to be, here, but the excerpt from the reviewer response is... Well. For the benefit of our non-academic readers, would you agree that an accurate translation of that into the vernacular would be:
"This study appears have been performed by a mad scientist, emulating the best practices of the Tuskegee Experiment in a third world nation. And we don't believe your results, either."
blogs.sciencemag.org - Not How You Speed the Process Up, Exactly
Indeed, that would be an accurate summary.
