You have to break a few eggs...

Your headline is absolutely misleading and infuriating.

For other fake news is embarrassment. But for Reuters is just Monday.

Seriously reuters you are better than this.

TwitterSupport Hey Twitter. Is this “disinformation campaign”? Are you suggesting people should read the article and not only headlines when your users retweet this? Or those standards are reserved for content which is expedient to your ideology?

Your title is misleading and honestly you should be ashamed

The Person received the placebo.

I believe such action violates protocols for sound studies; this does not instill confidence in the credibility or reliability of the development process for these vaccines.

Not going read this article. This participant had a placebo. So he caught C19 What were the odds? My daughter and son-in-law are participating in a trial run with Pfizer. We think she has a placebo & he has a live virus. He was sick the next day, Only 24 hours thankfully

🤭🤭 dies of what?!

Shameful and misleading headline

Very misleading headline. Do better.

Just report Twitter

Fake news. The paciente received a placebo

CloroquinaÉmelhor

Another source said CHInA vaccine failed because volunteer died

The Brazilian volunteer who participated in the Oxford tests took a placebo, not the vaccine! 💉💊 Fake News, ComuReuters!🚫🇨🇳

Was he in in the control group?

😢

This has been pointed out already but you've buried the lede, the person was part of the control group. Of course the trial is continuing.

Is the death because of the coronavirus or the potential vaccine or is it completely unrelated, ?

Bad headline. Should note in the headline that the individual who passed had a placebo not the vaccine.

👀

He didn’t die due to the trial, delete this bullshit headline
