Funny how a certain 'doctor' a while back was quite rightly pursued for conducting medical trials to see 'what might happen'...

Of course things have the appearance of being more 'civilised' these days, but there is a history of experiments going on in many countries across the world known or unknown...

I'd be more inclined to give this experiment more credence if members of the government offered up young members of their families to be the guinea pigs...

Kind of like an updated 'burger test' :)

It’s for 18 year olds upwards. Are you suggesting that members of government can 'offer up' their adult children? Would you be able to 'offer up' any child of yours that was over the age of 18 for anything or do you treat them like adults?

Norman Fowler and the burger springs to mind, but his kid was about 8, so maybe not...
 
Edward Jenner started it all. Infected an 8 year old with smallpox to see if his new fangled vaccine idea would work?

The son of his gardener...

One wonders why he didn't try it on his own young daughter or eldest son instead?

You mock people, calling them sheep for taking the safe vaccine. What are you so scared of taking it? What is your reason not to accept it?

Likely because he was not worried about the cowpox (which he saw as safe), but was worried about the requirement to then infect him Small Pox to test to see if the cowpox inoculation worked.

From wiki
Jenner's unique contribution was not that he inoculated a few persons with cowpox, but that he then proved [by subsequent challenges] that they were immune to smallpox.
 
with cowpox
Yes, fair enough, he did do that. But the cowpox was the inoculation. He then injected the kid with smallpox to prove that the cowpox inoculation worked. Or something like that.
