Question: (Q. 3): From the table in chapter 1 (pg. 6), those children whose parents refused to participate in the randomized controlled Salk trial got polio

(Q. 3): From the table in chapter 1 (pg. 6), those children whose parents refused to participate in the randomized controlled Salk trial got polio at the rate of 46 per 100,000. On the other hand, those children whose parents consented to participation got polio at the slightly higher rate of 49 per 100,000 in the treatment group and control group taken together. Suppose that this field trial was repeated the following year. On the basis of the figures, some parents refused to allow their children to participate in the experiment and be exposed to this higher risk of polio. Were they right? Answer yes or no, and explain briefly. TABLE 1.
