"...the social distancing and vaxx narratives were already understood to be false"

The instant that genocidal gnome put his imprimatur on the hundreds of violent, screaming, marxist terrorists (BLM and their brainless acolytes) rioting in the middle of a supposed dire health crisis was when anyone with even half a functioning brain should have woken up to the hoax. Logic would follow that since this alleged "health crisis" is a hoax, discussion should be directed at what might be the actual reason for pushing the experimental drugs on humanity.

I understand it's probably still "safest" for researchers to pretend that they're considering this study of efficacy to show that the drugs were dangerous so that it may deter future usage of them. That is ethical, IMHO. Pretend along with the genocidal beasts and their minions that you're just testing something that was (falsely) touted as beneficial under the narrative.

Unfortunately, too many bad players in the pharma-med industries have tainted the whole field so that the remaining ethical, decent, intelligent folks working under this umbrella, people who joined in with their hearts wanting to help humanity and relieve suffering, need to resort to feigned obeisance to get the information out. The FNM will quash it however it comes out, but every study like this that reaches even some of the brainwashed and steers them away from continued usage of these experimental drugs is a godsend.
