I'd heard about the adjuvant thing elsewhere and yeah...if you give the adjuvant to the "placebo" arm you obviously won't catch adverse reactions to the adjuvant. That's just an obviously bad trial, and not only that...why would you do that unless you had an inkling the adjuvant might cause adverse reactions? Why not just use saline as is standard in plaebo-controlled studies?
It's like when Pfizer gave up the Indian market rather than agree to an India-run clinical trial of their covid vaccine. Why would you give up such a huge market unless you had very strong concerns about what the new trial might show?
Yeah sorry, got off your topic there. Hmm can you expand on this part?

Good luck extricating yourself.
