And top of that, the doctor who gave me the injection basically told me that I got the real thing (“Keep wearing your mask, we don’t know yet if these work”)
According to https://www.nbc12.com/2020/12/17/pfizer-trials-placebo-volunteers-tapped-receive-real-vaccine/ it should have been double blind, so the doctor wouldn’t know and might randomly say those things to people if he thinks they might skip wearing the mask afterwards.
Shame on them for misreporting. It was not double blind.
I wouldn’t put it past this guy for not knowing anyway, but he was 2 for 2 in accidentally hinting at the right thing (one vaccine, one placebo)
