I miss the good ole days where clinical trials looked like doctors (d’Hérelle—never actually went to med school) going “alright so I have this treatment idea for the 12 year old child, and to prove it is safe, I will give myself 100x the dose I would give the small child. And THEN, when I don’t die, I’ll give the small child the dose”
