Did you not bother to read my post? The testing involves a large enough sample size to produce a statistically significant result. I would guess that you are not a scientist and have never had a course in statistics. Please stop second guessing the professionals.

No, I do not think anyone in a trial should be kept from the public. In fact, just the opposite. I know the folks in the trials must go about their business and live their lives like they normally would. My thoughts are if someone in the trial goes out into the public wearing a mask and social distancing, that could skew the results of the trial if the actual vaccine was given. Anyone who is being careful by abiding by the CDC guidelines with make the vaccine efficacy look better than it would be if that same person went about his/her life with no mask and no social distancing. The second scenario is more risky therefore that person is more apt to contract the virus than someone who is more careful.
