CNN reporter Elam recentlydetailed her decision to join the Johnson & Johnson vaccine trialthrough Janssen Vaccines & Prevention.
“Who signs up for these trials is key,” she wrote on CNN.com on Dec. 11. “That’s a large part of the reason why I wanted to volunteer for this COVID-19 vaccine research — more Black people and more people of color need to be part of these trials so more diverse populations can reap the benefits of this medical research. I believe in science and I hope my decision to join a trial and my transparency about the process will help more people trust today’s medicine.”
