She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care.

Sure looks like it'll be a 'study' with a predetermined outcome. If this were really an open question (it is not) it would make sense to contract with one of the numerous centers with extensive experience in vaccine trials. (1/2)
