Survivor's bias. It is really a problem in safety.
But I think that Big Pharma even uses this to make their product seem better. Imagine you have a toxic medicine. If you kill or scare away the weak people, the stronger will remain in your statistics. And those stronger people will be better at surviving infections. This will give you a positive statistical effect, even though the medicine is toxic.
Looks complicated. Anyway I doubt names/contact details of participants would be displayed which would be needed to check how they're all doing. I wonder if ICAN have given any thought to this. Or someone like Welcome The Eagle. He'd be a good hire for ICAN.
Yes. Anonymity has been guaranteed. So we are left with having to trust those that have lied to do the work and provide anonymised results.
It is all possible with protections - the CDC already knows the names and cell phones of those that subscribed to V-Safe - or the cell-phone companies/NSA do.
Thanks PH. V Safe shut down. OH LOOK! "It's" gone away!

Good points. Someone needs to hack the VSafe data.
I am not smart enough to figure out if the data is here or not

... or Naomi Wolf's volunteers or TrialSite people?
