Are Healthy People Infected With Covid-19 for Clinical Trials Being Paid? by Hannah Joy on February 6, 2021 at 1:17 PM
Healthy people volunteering to be infected with SARS-CoV-2 should receive a substantial amount, as they are helping scientists to better understand how to tackle the virus.
Those are the findings of a new peer-reviewed study published in the American Journal of Bioethics, which has assessed the ethics of paying participants to take part in so-called Human Infection Challenge Studies (HICS).
Over the past few months there has been vast media coverage and discussion about the first COVID-19 HICS in the world, planned to begin in the UK later this year. This type of study can be particularly valuable for testing vaccines and can speed up the development of new vaccines.
