Redirect to Scientific control?

[edit]

This page is a poor-quality stub and the concept duplicates Scientific control. I propose to wait a week or two, and if the idea is uncontentious replace it by a redirect. Richard Keatinge (talk) 12:21, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Let's not forget that control group redirects here presently, and that there are lots of articles linking to control group. At present Scientific control contains nothing really specific to treatment and control groups, but just mentions them in passing. I have expanded things here a little, and I supposed there could be a merger. But I think these things lie at different levels in the hierarchy: Scientific method -> Scientific control -> Design of experiments -> treatment & control groups.

- I'll leave it. Thanks. Richard Keatinge (talk) 17:54, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

--Since this seems to have been resolved, I'm going to remove the merge template from the article page. Danni Ruthvan (talk) 19:02, 13 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Falsified results

[edit]

May this information be cited in the WP article?

To the control group it can be given an already approved vaccine with the same toxicity than the one that is being tested, in order to obtain a "normal" value of toxicity both in the testing and in the control group (See What Does a Fraudulent Vaccine Safety Study Look Like?) 176.200.64.243 (talk) 08:47, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, the source is nonsense and has nothing to do with this article. Zefr (talk) 15:35, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
