> races are a social construct, not a biological reality
I do agree with you, but then what should anyone care about the distribution of ethnic groups in a medical trial if those ethnic groups have absolutely no impact on the result of the trial.
Either it makes sense to differentiate the vaccine according to $variable and testing groups as well as certifications need to reflect that. Or it makes no biological sense to care about $variable, then we should have no requirements about making sure that $variable is correctly sampled in the test groups.
In this case, ethnicity probably has 0 impact on the effectiveness of the vaccine, therefore why does anyone care about the distribution of ethnic groups in the sample ?
