Trump shouldnt have been an idiot and those arizonans shouldnt have sort of listened and taken something similar.
I have no idea but if the experts see value in trials in controlled setting to manage the dosages shouldnt that be allowed? Can that be done and still keep snake oil salesmen and goobers from hurting people or themselves?
If there are enough trials going on then more arent needed and wait for enough data to be collected considering the urgency.
Again this is the type of guidance the feds should provide. Let states decide ultimately but what is seen as best practice right now? Thats what trump ought to be grilling the cdc on.
