Amongst the many harmful effects of the sudden halt of #USAID -funded clinical trials is the erosion of trust. As @snolen reports: "That work relied on a carefully constructed web of trust that has now been destroyed.." “We have betrayed the trust of ministries of health and the regulatory agencies in the countries where we were working and of the women who agreed to be in our studies, who were told that they would be taken care of.” Ethically conducted clinical trials benefitting participating communities and countries are essential to pandemic preparedness and response. Trust is a foundation required to #PreventPandemics.
