I understand. It's like having more than one iron in the fire.
Last week we learned that CanSino is skipping the phase three trial. Its vaccine is going to be injected into Chinese soldiers. Not only would that never happen in Canada, but soldiers cannot insist on informed consent. That's obviously against the rules of medical ethics.
Have you told the government that you will refuse to work with such a partner, which is violating those medical ethics, and if not, why not?
