I guess each individual would have to make that decision.
Got word today that MadernaTX is “Un-Blinding” the study and will let us know next week whether we got the placebo or the vaccine. Those that got the placebo will be offered the vaccine at their next appointment if they chose to get it.
Not sure which I got but if I got the placebo, I’ll be getting two more shots.

Pfizer and BioNTech have made the same offer to their trial participants.
"Pfizer and its partner BioNTech plan to offer their Covid-19 vaccine to any clinical trial volunteer who received placebo by March 1, several months earlier than initially planned."

Had not heard that but I am not surprised. My understanding is that there was a mutiny brewing among the participants. My own thinking is that anyone who joined any study believed in the science and was hoping they received the vaccine versus the placebo.
We all had to decide if the risk was worth it.

Couldn't you get tested for antibodies?

Absolutely, although that would be at my own expense. I would have to read our agreement again to verify but I believe doing that would not be within the spirit of our agreement. I know cutting in line and getting vaccinated from another source goes against our agreement and would nullify my value of participating in the study.
To clarify, there is guidance contained within the agreement addressing several different scenarios/protocols, especially if contracting COVID-19 and other potentialities. Getting additional testing is not something I would consider. IMHO, you either get and go with the program or don’t.
