“So do we all agree that regulation is conterproductive? Good, we'll consider it invalid.”

The way that bullshit/time consuming regs are being ignored, circumvented or furloughed is amazing and encouraging. Whole phases of research programs are being whacked.

Informed consent statements that all subjects sign are clear regarding the risk but research centers are having no problem filling slots, even in “normal healthy” studies where it was decided to stop paying the volunteers on the premise that its unethical to pay for increased risk.

In Brussels they asked for 48 volunteers via advertisement, stated that animal testing had been skipped, and no pay for a 7 day in-house stay and they cut off enrollment after >400 people volunteered in the first hour.

Not everyone is a douchebag self-involved yolo spring-breaker.

My involvement is in studies that capture ambulatory 12-lead cardiac telemetry streams. We're still looking for safety problems, in my case QTc problems...cardiac... but simultaneously with actual patient treatment via compassionate protocols.

That’s freaking unheard of and whacks 6 mos off clinical decisions.

Vaccine is 12 mos out, everyone is desperate to find interim therapies.

Google “massive WHO study”
