A clinical trial has accurate data. It keeps strict records of reactions. It measures efficacy. If there is a death an autopsy is done and clear indications are noted and part of the record. There is a well defined control group. Statistics are measured and reported clearly.

Not one single one of those things is happening. This is not a clinical trial of anything. This isn't an "experiment." This is a shotgun blast of an experimental technology, without any of the other elements of what constitutes an experiment.

How many placebo? None.

There is anecdotal evidence of some people being given saline solution. That could be for many reasons. It could be because someone who ran a place that was distributing the vaccines saw a lot of aberrant reactions and decided to give out saline shots to help save lives. It could be because white hats substituted a bunch of vaccine vials with saline. It could be because a nurse picked up the wrong vial. No one knows. The one thing I am fairly certain of is, any saline solutions are not part of an actual experiment.
