Sorry, but blatantly going against GCP (good clinical practices) and your IRB is never justified.
The fallout from this will be that any theories around the disgraced docs’ theory will now be pretty much defacto discredited, and any REAL research will be greatly hindered.
UC Davis, btw, is one of the core sites receiving funding for cancer research from the NCI/NIH. These docs’ stupid actions put that at risk as well for ALL UC Davis cancer studies and programs.
Nice job going rogue, guys. Not.
