Only then would trials be done on healthy people, and then
under very close monitoring. The skimpy report you quoted makes it
sound like some mad scientist conned a thousand healthy volunteers
into drinking his untried evil potion and surprise, surprise, some of
them got ill.


The Times reported that there were 8 people in the trial altogether. 2 got a
placebo. The other 6 are all very seriously ill.

If anyone with a clue could comment.
It seems "obvious" to me that the first trial should happen with one
person, or at most two.
Is there a good reason to use 8?
