Nir Eyal publishes 3 papers with Chancellor Brian Strom, Tobias Gerhard and Kyungdo Lee

In separate new publications, CPLB Director Nir Eyal continued to make the case for human challenge trials against COVID. Such trials are now planned in the UK. A paper with RBHS Chancellor Brian Strom and IFH colleague Tobias Gerhard in Vaccine proposes a new way to assess vaccine safety following challenge trials. Another, also with Tobias Gerhard and also in J of Medical Ethics, addresses the worry that challenge trials fail to provide information on vaccine impact on high-risk populations.  An article with doctoral student Kyungdo Lee in J of Medical Ethics answers concerns about how challenge trials treat surrounding communities.
