Are you sure, making them the guinea pigs?
Maybe there is another category of individuals who are more "deserving".

It didn't take long for a posting of this type. The "guinea pigs" were the 100,000 people who volunteered to participate in the vaccine trials. The CDC and the ACIP will not release the vaccine without well done efficacy and safety studies. The studies will not be perfect nor will they be beyond scientific scrutiny and criticism. Risk will be balanced against benefit. Science will be applied and evidence based.
Consensus will be sought and differing opinions will be heard and not suppressed. This is how the system works. Conspiracy theories will get all the respect they deserve. Real evidence backed by real data will be vetted. The earth is round, it goes around the sun and the US really did land on the moon.
