Surely the point of a placebo in this case was to measure effectiveness rather than detect long term side effects. There are other methods of establishing a control such as comparing to the general population.

Not if the general population is mandated to be vaccinated.

But that is not what happened. Not everyone has had the jab. And those that were vaccinated did not all receive the same vaccine.

Anyway none of your comments actually address the science involved. A few factoids without any context is not useful.
