(7,006 posts)No, or else it would not be called a Treatment. However, it is a Treatment just like the Vaccine. A Treatment which is also not 100% effective. If the vaccine was 100% effective, it would still be a treatment until the long-term effects of the Treatment was placed under the scientific method protocol. Which is the point, in part, that Dr. Fuller is making.
There was a way to provide Treatment and expanded Scientific Method Protocols with the Vaccine. In fact, the Emergency Use Authorization Trial could have been explained to allow those with adverse reactions to COVID-19 to receive the Cocktail on a wider use basis. Yet, that was not done.
Again, Dr. Fuller point as merit and she took a vote on her merit and methodology creating the decision she made. One of the nine vaccines will begin their wide distribution processes. Two or three of the nine will likely have approval by the end of this year. The other six or so will continue their clinical trails into 2021 and then seek approval. For me, I am comfortable with following the mitigation guidelines until vaccines that have followed the full scientific method process, are approved. Everyone has a right to make their own choices on their level of comfort.
