These are medical trials. How do you preserve the patients privacy in all of this?

Or do subjects need to wave all their doctor-patient privacy rights before joining any trial?

If we discover that we can´t trust researchers then what else are we left with? Doctor-patient privacy works if the doctor is truthful in their reporting

It's generally permitted to share de-identified patient data. As long as you're not sharing patients names, medical record numbers, birthdays, and a couple of other fields, you should be fine.

Maybe we could do a double blind (including scientists) study where everyone waived their rights & are recorded then in another "typical" conditions study do none of that and compare the two and see which one seems to have the best, most accurate results.
