As others have pointed out, when you have nearly 100,000 people in studies there will be deaths because people die. As far as I can find, there have not yet been any reported deaths in the active vaccine arm of the ongoing studies. But there will be. And there will also be deaths in the placebo arm. |
I have been wondering about the death in the trial. I could not find out at the time if the individual was in the placebo group or not. Very happy that you posted this now. We re so lucky to have you at TOTV.
