I'm not a molecular biologist or medical experimental. But that sounds a bit bad medical testing. To just increase the dosage like this with out proper longitudinal studies. Anyone with that area of expertise care of pitch in here?

The studies will eventually come out with "proper longitudinal studies". Some countries are choosing not to wait for that. I do hope they do those studies - it feels like half the current dose size might work fine
