I would like to propose a consideration that ALL VACCINE trials have a ongoing requirement for a placebo arm.

This is usually dismissed under argument that a placebo arm in unethical when a standard is established.

Personally, given that the exposome changes continuously, and generationally, I don’t find the ethics of an eliminating a placebo control persuasive.

I would like to hear the panels opinion about this proposal, if possible.

I've seen presentations at my hospital on studies analysed by Sensible Medicine, and it has only reinforced my gratitude to these guys. Thanks for the valuable contribution towards my education.

“275 years since Adam blood-let George Washington”…busted a gut on that one.

Completely agree. Doctors are not data analysis or statisticians, not to mention incentives.

Looking forward to this.

“Every new sensible med post is a must-read” is a system 1 heuristic that hasn’t failed me yet. I have no doubt this will be especially true of this upcoming series.

(Any chance that written transcripts will be provided?)

I am excited to learn how to tell the meaningful advances in bloodletting from the dross.

Please get Dr. Cfu to stop using his smart phone for surfing, texting, etc. while he is onscreen as some other members of any panel are speaking. This is highly distracting -- it is moreover totally unprofessional. It's a behavior of teeny-boppers and Gen X folks. Please tell him STOP.

Were you my daughter’s high school teacher who couldn’t abide her knitting in class? By the way she graduated college summa and with a Fulbright.

Adam clearly checking to see if anyone is watching the videos (sort of a sensitivity analysis). Indeed you were! :)

I was using it to take notes on what to say after the speaker finished. Apologies.

My first thought...Adam is a practicing physician, with real patients, who are a higher priority than a podcast.
