I just talked to a person in a two-month Covid trial. He saw it on FB and applied. He's getting $2,000. He gets two shots, a month apart, and has to give daily reports on his reactions or side effects etc.
After talking to him, I searched trials on FB and found a couple, and now they're popping up in my newsfeed. I am not interested in doing one, but I find it interesting that this is out there.

I just said ok. Maybe he's right.

Just the side effects.

were apparently willing to be deliberately infected after vaccination to get faster determination of efficacy?
