You seem to be saying the study will not be randomized. No?
I am saying as part of the study, the messages will be given randomly... to participants chosen according to specific criteria, i.e., census-based sampling.
Participants are randomized to 1 of 12 arms, with one control arm and one baseline arm.

That is not a fair assessment. It is nonsense. It was not blinded at all, single, double, or triple.
Show me where Fauci made such a claim...
Health officials should instead rely on the "gold standard" of a randomized, placebo controlled study to determine whether the drug is effective, Fauci told the U.S. House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis.
The Henry Ford Hospital study that was published was a non-controlled retrospective cohort study that was confounded by a number of issues, including the fact that many people who were receiving hydroxychloroquine were also using corticosteroids, which we know from another study gives a clear benefit in reducing deaths with advanced disease," said Fauci, the nation's leading infectious disease expert advising the White House on the coronavirus response.
"So that study is a flawed study," Fauci said after Missouri Republican U.S. Rep. Blaine Leutkemeyer asked him about the trial.
...and read the study yourself. You have the link.
I don't appreciate you being so darn snarky when I'm trying my damnedest to have a reasonable discussion with you, when you refuse to even make yourself clear.
You do. I gave it to you. Here it is again.www.abovetopsecret.com...
Actually, no, I don't have the link...

Due to the nature of our legal system, there are tons of attorneys ready to sue for almost any mental or physical injury.
Almost every product or service you purchase contains wording to protect the manufacturer/supplier/seller.

Message to everyone, we will all be human Guinea pigs for any vaccine released and the companies releasing them are exempt from liabilities to the harm they cause.
The companies developing these vaccines have no problem killing children to sell their vaccines. Despite knowing they're potentially life threatening.
We can both do better.
Facts don't change. You believed a lie because you wanted to. And because you didn't want to believe me and ignored what I said.
Tomorrow is a new day...
You can certainly learn something about randomization and original sources. I gave you both.

the original study,
Limitations to our analysis include the retrospective, non-randomized, non-blinded study design.
Yes, in this case, blatantly so. Your source lied. Fabricated. Made stuff up. Fauci never said that. No one but your "source" said that. The claim was nonsense, that's what I said. And you quoted it.
And when it's not, you go straight to lying liars? Can't be misinformed? Wrong? Gotta be willful and deliberate lying liars???

The messaging I heard over and over again today was: The vaccine may not be safe. Especially if the distribution is on President Trump's aggressive timetable. Wait until its been in circulation for awhile.

There isn't a vaccine yet, so, there's that.
