(Technical point: the phase 3′s still were randomized controlled trials, they just weren’t double-blind. But double-blind is the relevant characteristic when asking whether the different results are due to partying Israelis, so that’s fine.)
Yeah, the part I was objecting to there was “the placebo group was given a fake injection and everything”. Not only did they do far less than “everything” that is supposed to go with giving fake injections, they also failed to give me a fake injection! My second “placebo” was a real vaccine and my dad’s second “vaccine” was a placebo!
