You're right: https://www.newyorker.com/podcast/the-new-yorker-radio-hour/to-test-a-vaccine-for-covid-19-should-volunteers-risk-their-lives

BTW, w.r.t. my previous comment: caution isn't sufficient.  We'd also need
support with policies.  For example, why should just a certain set of
people (essential workers) carry all the burden of potentially acquiring
disease (not just COVID-19) without also getting better benefits,
including vacation, sick time, and health care coverage?  To me, we can
throw caution to the wind if we don't first fix this.
