Yes, being a lab rat for Drug companies is such a good idea... r/WCGW

Though I have this irrational fear of brain tumors just lingering in my head. Insurance doesn't cover expensive brain scans for irrational fears. So I'd totally do this study. In case there's something fucked up, I'd hope they'd let me know - though not sure if they're allowed.

In my experience, yes they will let you know if there is something seriously wrong that they can see, but that might not be guaranteed

Can totally understand and identify with this perspective. A phone call could provide one with the available data about the safety risks. Again, this is an IRB-approved study. :)

Yes, the researchers will inform you if there is an incidental or unexpected finding that a doctor would be concerned about.

JuSt GEt ThE VAX, YOu PLaGUE RAT!

Define "Healthy?"

What if they cause it.....will they tell you then?

I'm not 100% certain, but I think this study is excluding individuals with common medical issues (like high blood pressure, history supporting cardiovascular disease, history of stroke, diabetes) and also prior history of psychiatric disorders or dementia/ age-related cognitive decline are most likely excluded for this particular study. You could learn the full exclusion criteria by contacting Jane or Beth [see image].

To be clear, the biomarker that this study is testing appears to be safe (the IRB / human subjects protection panel seems to think so). However, in the exceedingly rare possibility that the research somehow caused a medical issue, you may have some legal recourse, but you would need to contact a lawyer to learn about that. To answer your question, it would not likely be detected on the same scan that is causing the problem in the first place. Medical problems usually take some time to develop.
