Even though I am not that young, I might sign up for that. If there is already evidence in vivo of the vaccine’s effectiveness, IMHO the risk would be tolerable.

I too would sign up; I signed up here: https://www.thecovidchallenge.org/ to support the effort.

Remember there would be a control group.

Does there need to be a control group? Can we not detect if the vaccine is working or not without one?

Not to the standards required to show its safety and effectiveness, no
