Would you ever consider being paid to get
infected with a virus and kept in quarantine? People behind the company called
Retroscreen Virology Ltd. Run a camp called Flu Camp, where they offer up to £3,750 to people willing to go through different
trials that might last between 10-18 days.
These trials are very popular among students, and they
consist on people going to one of the camps’ facilities and being administered
with a small dose of a respiratory virus, then being placed in quarantine with
one roommate and then treated with a variety of previously-approved vaccines.
Although the name might be a little deceiving, the facilities
are quite modern, with “very comfortable rooms, wireless internet connection,
three meals a day, an en-suite bathroom and even a PlayStation”. Everything is
set up for the applicants to feel as comfortable as possible.
When it comes to vaccine trials, one might immediately think
that there are many risks involved, and that’s why the company offers that
amount of money to the applicants, and even though there have been cases in
which things go wrong, they are extremely rare, and the company assures there
have been no unfortunate incidents up to date.
So, if the company offers you that amount of money, would you
do it? Considering that there are risks, and you’ll be kept in quarantine, is
the cash worth the risk? Where do you stand on human trials for drugs and
vaccines? Think about it and leave your reply on the comment section below.

In my case I wouldn't do it not because of the risk, but because I don't believe in vaccines, pills or any kind of drug. I think all those medicines are designed with the purpose of making people sick so they would need "a cure" later. To me, pharmaceutical companies are one of the biggest mafia in the world.
ReplyDeleteI see your point, and I agree up to a point, but there are some diseases that need vaccines or drugs, because we're not able to heal naturally. I think it all depends on the disease you are trying to cure. And I totally agree with what you said about pharmaceutical companies.
