Double-blind; Luke Hutchison said he signed up to a coronavirus
vaccine trial because he’s “pro science”

The trials, which each have tens of thousands of participants, are
double-blind, meaning half of them are receiving saline or another
placebo and patients don’t know what treatment they are receiving.

The health care worker administering the vaccine is also in the dark.
While it’s possible some of the symptoms described could be attributed
to an unrelated illness, Moderna and Pfizer previously said some
participants in their phase one trials experienced mild Covid-19
symptoms.
But Pfizer said it was in a minority of its cases.
The trials are also still ongoing, so it remains to be seen how many
participants who received the vaccine will report side effects.

Hutchison, a 44-year-old computational biologist in Utah, said he signed
up for Moderna’s phase three trial because he’s healthy, physically fit
and a big believer in vaccines.
He specifically wanted to support Moderna’s effort, as he was intrigued
by the company’s RNA-based approach. While still experimental, mRNA
vaccines potentially offer faster development and production times,
which could be a major benefit during a global pandemic that has led to
more than 1 million fatalities.

“I had a high degree of confidence it would work and I wanted to
contribute to the solution,” Hutchison said.

Bed bound
After getting the first shot on Aug. 18, he said he felt a little under
the weather for several days with a low-grade fever.
He got his second shot at a clinic on Sept. 15.
Eight hours later, he said he was bed bound with a fever of over 101,
shakes, chills, a pounding headache and shortness of breath.
He said the pain in his arm, where he received the shot, felt like a
“goose egg on my shoulder.”
He hardly slept that night, recording that his temperature was higher
than 100 degrees for five hours.

After 12 hours, Hutchison said he felt back to normal and his energy
levels returned.
Having signed a lengthy consent form, Hutchison was aware that he might
experience symptoms.
But he was still struck by the severity and duration, tweeting on
Sept. 16 that he experienced “full-on Covid-like symptoms.”

Two other participants in the Moderna trial, who asked to remain
confidential because they feared backlash from the company, reported
similar side effects.
Likewise, one participant in the Pfizer trial said he experienced more
severe symptoms than he expected.

Moderna and Pfizer have acknowledged that their vaccines could induce
side effects that are similar to symptoms associated with mild
Covid-19, such as muscle pain, chills and headache.
As companies progressed through clinical trials, several vaccine
makers abandoned their highest doses following reports of
more severe reactions.

Infectious disease specialist Florian Krammer of New York’s Mount Sinai
said on Twitter that the side effects reported in Moderna’s phase one
trial are “unpleasant but not dangerous.”
It remains to be seen whether kids and pregnant women will experience
similar symptoms.
