Which says: "AZ has just revealed that the patient who died received
a placebo, not the actual vaccine."

I'm taking part in the Novavax phase 3 trial, so I read up the results
of the phase 1/2 trial.

What is striking is that 30% of those receiving the placebo reported
side effects. That's not just tenderness at the injection site, but
headaches as well. Whilst it sounds a bit wimpish (no, a lot
wimpish!), it may be understandable if they were on edge because they
thought they were taking a completely brand new vaccine rather than a
drop of saline.

Well all hail the mighty placebo! Without which the homoeopathic and
crank market would not survive!






It sounds the placebo is more dangerous than the vaccine?



Also makes it possible to conduct clinical trials (usually).
