Things got extremely political around these experiments.
When 2 days ago Orban announced from nothing that they will provide Remdesivir to everyone, I knew that again they did something stupid...I want the experimental drug that Trump got, not some leftover drug with lots of side effects.
Now I know that it was not Orban who was screwed, but the whole EU.
But even then, more participants and more time for follow-ups is generally better all other things being equal (which they never are).
