We're making viruses from public opinions! At #GERF2025 we're asking the public if they would take part in a human challenge study: green for yes, red for no, and blue for maybe. The mix of opinions is fascinating and it's clear there's a hunger to know more! 🧪@imperialinfect.bsky.social, @cepi.net
