Grimwade et al have the opposite concern-that researchers will underpay challenge trial participants. Even more concerning, it fails to account for the extra risks and burdens of COVID-19 challenge trial participation that go beyond a typical minimum wage job. Grimwade et al argue that participants should be offered higher payment that accounts for participant time, and for pains, burdens and willingness to take risk. Undue inducement occurs when people do not pay full attention to the risks and benefits of research participation because they are myopically focused on the money. There are, however, two additional ethical concerns associated with high payment that Grimwade et al do not discuss: unjust inducement and crowding out of altruism. Given the potential burdens and risks accompanying challenge trials, we shouldn't worry about whether we are overpaying people for their participation.	./cache/cord-282402-1skkjes1.txt	./txt/cord-282402-1skkjes1.txt
