Sometime in late March, 34-year-old Josh Morrison was quarantined alone in his Brooklyn apartment when a friend emailed him Eyal, Lipsitch and Smith's article.
Morrison, who works as an advocate for kidney donors, felt hopeful for the first time in weeks. He started a group called"The expected value is even having a vaccine one day faster," Morrison said."We want people to see that there are people enthusiastic about this."Courtesy Josh Morrison Volunteers are mothers, students, veterans, historians, journalists, doctors and healthy twenty-somethings."I am older, 52, my kids are grown, and I feel like if I can help save people who are not in the same position then I should do it," one wrote. Another volunteer, who lost half a leg after a head-on trailer collision, wrote,"This would give me a chance to get my sense of self back, to help and protect others, especially my 1-year old-daughter.
Survey responses shared with NBC News include expressions of helplessness and desires to save high-risk loved ones. "No one is obligated to participate in a trial like this, just like no one is obligated to be a kidney donor," Morrison said."If people are ready and willing to do a trial like this, and the trial would be useful, I think it would be wrong to keep that from going forward."
Those crooked and stupid politicians should be included in this mental challenge trials. The heck
Better that the Bill Gates guinea pigs in Africa and Asia
I hope they are all Trump supporters who believe coronavirus is a hoax and not merely desperate poor people.
These people are heros.
Let’s hope all the volunteers are part of Trump’s base. You know, the inexcusable excuses as human beings — the DEPLORABLES!
Weaker strain made!
Let them, if they want to. It may be better than being a sitting duck. At least they know they've been infected and they will get tests and treatment. They may still die. For some it's the knowing instead of the anxiety of waiting and wondering.
This is a really bad idea.
They need cash. LOL
Cos they are retarded by vacines already
Hero trials.
Will those who die from it, if they die from it, be counted in a seperate category? I mean it would make sense to at least note that they were people who willingly were infected
