I have seen this but I am awaiting independent confirmation the information is true.
Currently there are a lot of people repeating the same source (a Thai-German who claims to have spoken with the Thai government), and whilst I don't think the individual is dishonest, I must await a verifiable response from the Thai government itself to confirm this is what's actually occurring. It is not possible to know what the Thai government themselves are thinking, and speculation isn't beneficial.
If it's not true, I do not wish to give people a false sense of hope because it discourages activism, and would erode trust in the reputation of the reporting of The Daily Beagle as I would have to issue either a retraction, correction or update.
Once I see confirmation from Thailand this is the case, I fully intend to report on it any consequences it may entail.

A randomised trial means participants are randomly assigned to either the placebo or intervention arm of the trial. The participants don't know which arm of the trial they're in. Observer-blind means the data-collectors also don't know which arm of the trial any participant is assigned to until after the trial ends, when they are 'unblinded'.
So randomised in that sense doesn't refer to how data are collected.
(I know you know this stuff. It just read slightly oddly in your article. 😊)
All researchers into the activities of big pharma need to understand the politics of this. The days when one reported criminality to the appropriate authority, and then sat back thinking "Job well done", are long gone. In today's toxic and lawless environment, the incriminating data needs first to be broadcast over the internet so that the whole worlds knows what's going down. Then it must be sent to every regulatory agency and politician including the specific official in charge of this function; such advice as a registered letter.
Then the media, both MSM and real information and communication systems (ie you and me), plus targeted regulatory body, need to be told the predictable sequence of events: (1) Allowable processing timeline to save lives otherwise needlessly lost; (2) The expected date of announcment of remedial measures; (3) The public protest time and location pertaining to agency failure to respond; (4) The date of citizens arrest of all officials in default; (5) the time and place of People's Trial.
The public then needs to be asked what penalty should apply to the negligent officials, considering police and courts have not acted. A check list is essential, with options including: forced dismissal, imprisonment, public beating; installation in stocks; whipping; and execution. Building a scafold, gibbet, or chopping block outside the said building will do marvelous things to response precision.
Directions to the location of burial of deceased(s) at local landfill site, in the event there are grieving relatives. Nah. Just joking. Just a job number for the local backhoe operator will suffice.

Exemplary! Phanks!
I did like your turn of phrase, 'artificially crimps', though. Nicely put!
If Steve Kirsch had more sense he'd hire you as a fulltime researcher. Yoh hit it out of the park every time!

That's a fair correction to raise and I will adjust the article appropriately.
Yes, I did mean observer-blind. Mentally I treat randomised and observer-blind as synonymous, but you're right, there is a technical distinction.
