Pfzier is offering members of the control group in study right to vaccine

My son got this letter last week. Pfzier is offering members of the study the ability to unmask and find out if they got the vaccine or if they are in the control group. Members of the control group will be offered the vaccine on March 1

Only fair since they took a risk in the trials.

so they aren't really doing anything special, just what most study designs call for.

They took a risk in agreeing to be part of the study. A risk that I personally would not take. Give them the vaccine now.
