The most highly respected contributors here have a duty to also be the most careful.
1. is now incorporating this feedback and finalizing the trial protocol indicates that the trial design is not finalized yet:) so your scathing criticism might be premature:) if you want to get really technical and considering you are calling people out I would use your own lofty standards on yourself first.
2. Using some kind of standard of care (instead of nothing) would make logical sense - at least something for both Leo and the FDA to consider - since there is an ethical/moral line to consider when treating somebody with a known/potentially deadly disease.
