You're absolutely not allowed to keep that a secret from the people who sign up. centaurtainment posted:I just looked this up and apparently it's a (federal, US) law that doctors must mention the existence of placebos in a study. Makes sense, but it's still lovely. It's way less lovely than lying to a person about the fact that there are placebos in the study; it lets the patient make an informed decision about whether to stick with drugs that may or may not be working for them for a new (risky) opportunity.

Fun callback: I've been re-watching S1, and in Episode 6, when Lester's visited in the hospital by his brother, their conversation has a very similar end result to that between Peggy & Lou in the cruiser; Chas comes in to confront Lester about what's been happening, which results in Lester declaring "I'm the victim here" and soon down the line Chas rebuking him with "People are dead, Lester".
