Clinical Trial True or False: Two Shots

Slideshow

COVID-19 clinical trials have been news for 18 months. But what do you know about clinical trials in general? Take 2 shots at a brief true or false quiz.

The popular and the scientific media have been headlining news on COVID-19 clinical trials and their results for nearly 18 months. I am going to veer away from the significant outcomes and confidence intervals for a moment and launch a quick game of Clinical Trial True or False.

I have been both a subject in a handful of vaccine trials and a principal investigator (PI) in others; many of you probably have, too. Based on what you know, see if these 2 statements ring true or false.
