This scientist treated her own cancer with viruses she grew in the lab
Virologist Beata Halassy says self-treatment worked and was a positive experience — but researchers warn that it is not something others should try.
In early 2020 my employer sent a mass email forbidding the use of work PCR machines for Covid self-testing. At the time the policy seemed reasonable to me, but the Hanley review makes a pretty convincing case that the policy violates the Nuremberg Principles. Discuss!
