Note: they did not automatically unblind us. It was by request. In other words, they kept a control group going as long as possible. But it would not have been ethical to refuse to let us (I was in the control group, it turned out) to get vaccinated once a vaccine (not even theirs!) was available.

I was in a COVID vaccine study in 2020-2021. It was a randomized and double blind study with a control group that received saline instead of a vaccine. When the first COVID vaccines were approved, we could request to be unblinded, and to get vaccinated if we were in the control group.

There's a whole information superhighway out there.

Yeah, the the internet is not just a big truck.

Does that mean that you *can* lick a badger twice?

Okay, but hear me out: have you tried yoga?

Do you really need the starter pack?
