  1. It will be interesting to see how those (such as myself) who participated in a vaccine clinical trial will be treated once vaccinations become required for travel, etc. I was unblinded from my AZ trial after my second dose and confirmed to have received the ‘real deal’.

    I declined the Pfizer vaccine through my organization as a result, but am increasingly worried that although I may have done my part to preserve some integrity of the trial data that I will unfortunately have to get it anyway to fill a requirement of an airline, sporting event, etc down the road.
