Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise."
Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms.
Ethical violation as POLICY.

Four students were shot and wounded by a classmate yesterday at a high school in Dallas. This is the school’s second shooting in a year, and comes as lawmakers are pushing 17 bad gun bills—including two that would allow 18 year olds to carry guns in schools.
More guns in schools is NOT the answer.
