The Covid mRNA phase-3 trials were not "challenge" tests, because Covid was at the time (or considered to be) quite serious; didn't want to increase risk to subjects. That meant that subjects continued to take precautions, and only a tiny fraction of the 35,000 in each of test and placebo group were exposed.
So we get 95% relative effectiveness, something like 8 cases vs. 165 cases. Leaving absolute effectiveness 157 cases avoided out of 35,000 subjects, less than 0.5% absolute effectiveness. And more (supposedly unrelated) heart attack deaths in test group vs. control group. So the Anti- crowd talks about "absolute effectiveness" and "needed number to vaccinate" (to prevent one case or one death.)
But of course over time, virtually 100% were exposed, so I think "absolute effectiveness" approaches the percentage for "relative effectiveness." The Anti- crowd never updates their claims. Neither side seems very good at statistics, and both cherry pick evidence. The Pro-crowd of course had to tap dance around the statistical truth, because with variants and after waning, infection rate was higher among "vaccinated" than "non-vaccinated" (like saying it must be different behavior between the groups.) The Pro- group also said naturally acquired immunity (from infection) was much lower than vaccine induced (a lie, maybe cooked numbers, because the non-vaccinated population with lower infection rate were virtually all antibody positive.)
Electrical safety gloves, I don't think "challenge" tests are ever done.
Parachutes, there finally was a "challenge" test to determine effectiveness in saving lives, compared to double-blind group without a parachute. (the outcome will surprise you.)
So yes, I did perform a "challenge" test on electric shock, AC vs. DC. Or because it was inadvertent, maybe this was a non-challenge test among all forum members, so the end point "Still active on the forum" represents both those who didn't get careless, and those like me who none the less got lucky.
