just that minor issue of potential long-term complications, no big deal.
excerpt
"In December, Moderna announced that it would offer placebo recipients the
option of getting the vaccine. Earlier this month, Pfizer and BioNTech
announced that they would offer their vaccine to any trial participant who
wanted it on March 1. In both cases, the decision is left to the individual
participant.
Other scientists, however, are concerned that losing the placebo group in
these trials squanders a critical opportunity to learn about things such as
the rate of long-term complications, how long protection against the disease
lasts, and how well the vaccines keep people from spreading it even if they
don’t get sick themselves."
