[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did the trials not include many pre-menopausal women?  I've heard so many stories about period-related side effects.[/quote]

Only those on birth control, so nobody on natural cycles. I assume it's because they didn't want women in the trial to get pregnant, [b]but it sure is a major flaw in the trial[/b]. [/quote]

Understatement of the year.[/quote]

Well, it’s apparently standard protocol for vaccine trials[/quote]

Which is maybe kind of a problem, no? I mean, it was only in the 1990’s that women were required to be included in clinical trials at all. The 90’s![/quote]
Oh, I 100% agree. I was one of the people screaming from the rafters trying to get attention to this issue and someone to finally look into it. I couldn’t be more thrilled that it is now getting the attention it deserves but agree that this shouldn’t be the default rule for female participation in studies precisely to avoid these types of surprises (potentially - who knows if it would’ve come up in the trial had they not had this rule but it would certainly make me feel better about things had they not had this limitation!). I simply meant that there wasn’t anything unique about these trials to make them less trustworthy. This is just (unfortunately) how such trials are done[/quote]
