AGree about the RNA/DNA - There are other vectors that could work too - even VSV- the devil we know....

He'd push it through - _even_ if we knew it was unsafe or even dangerous. No doubt. And that's bloody terrifying.

Enough safety data should be there in the Phase I and II trials - you're right that the Moderna safety data is HIGHLY suspect.

If I were a betting man, I'd put my money on ChAdOx1 and Sinovac - I'd forget anything RNA- or DNA-based for now- it's just too early for those platforms.

"fully understand what they're signing up for" - lay it out for them - they might die. We've got a 1000 dying each day just in the US. Yes - some trial participants could die - I think it's less likely with the better treatment regiments -dexy, remdesivir if they get in trouble - give them Ho or Crowe's MAbs.

True - maybe Ad26 too (I don't know enough about that one). Ad5 does not seem appealing, although I'm pretty sure China will approve it (CanSino).

In my mind you definitely want the efficacy data first. If it doesn't work in young and health it won't work in the old and compromised.
