Flu Camp
-
So a young friend of mine, currently out of work with rent and car finance to pay is currently in the process of applying for Flu Camp [^] (he's registered his interest and is currently awaiting medical results to see if he is suitable). If his application is successful, he will be placed in a house in London for two weeks, injected with the flu virus, subjected to experimental drugs and monitored. For his troubles he will be given just short of £4K + free board. So my question is, would you consider doing this? For the purpose of this theoretical question imagine you are still getting paid from your regular job - like paid holiday without losing any holiday allocation - so in affect you're getting 4K on top of your regular salary. I got to admit I would consider it.

When medicines are tested on humans they are fairly safe (at least in the EU) so I could consider it.

Prednison is regular medication that is still prescribed, but that doesn't mean that you can take it for long without negative effects. One of the results is osteoporosis - that doesn't make it "bad" medicine, it just means that you don't take if there's no compelling reason to do so. Another example would be Puri-Nethol; yes, it is safe, as long as you don't plan on having children. That's side-effects from regular medication that is already "tested and safe". You're talking about something that isn't "that tested and safe", otherwise the testing would not even be required.
