# Better to slightly inflate than to downplay if it will save more lives

# Similarly, when I was doing my initial training to work at a clinical trial a few years ago
one of the things I learned was that anything that results in hospitalisation or death is considered an "Adverse Event". Even if the patient was run over by a bus, that would be recorded as an AE and reviewed accordingly.

At the time, I thought that was a perfectly reasonable precautionary requirement for clinical trials - after all, if 90% of people receiving the Investigational Medicinal Product were run over by buses, but 0% of people receiving the placebo were run over by buses, that might indicate that the IMP makes you walk out in front of buses. Now, however, I realise that I should have just run out of the hospital screaming "WAKE UP SHEEPLE" at the top of my lungs.
