Herpavac Trial. . .

[Brightness]

If you've been around here a minute, then you know I am very suspicious of these "medical/scientific studies" that they advertise on the Black radio stations.

Remember the one where you had to be addicted to crack cocaine :rolleyes: I didn't do any more follow up on that besides being pissed and questioning why they run that type of advertisement.

But I got the phone number and I'm going to get one of these people on the phone today and ask them a few questions.

Here's one they are recruiting for now. . .

Would you participate in this type of study?

And for the men, how would you feel if you wife or s/o were to participate?

I would not particpate in that type of study. They don't even want you to be significantly healthy anyway.

You never know what could trigger some genetic disease lying dormant.

The real messed up thing is, if they have you on the side that is the control group, the group they give the sugar pill to instead of the medicine, you will get worse so they can see how well the group that was given the medicine fared by comparison.
