Earlier this month, a consortium of 282 clinical trials doctors, in an article in the New England Journal of Medicine, threw down the gauntlet against data sharing. Under the misleading title “Towards fairness in data sharing,” these scientists, who label themselves the International Consortium of Investigators for Fairness in Trial Data Sharing, put forward the breathtakingly arrogant claim that doctors who collect data from patients should control it essentially forever.
I wonder what their patients would think if they knew.
