[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was shocked to find out that vaccines weren't double blind with placebos.[/quote]

How in the F would you possibly administer placebo for horrific infectious disease in an ethical manner? How is science education m the US so bad? [/quote]

I'm an engineer, I just was surprised that was what was not done in the past when the first vaccines came out.

They were. They just don’t do it for the tweaked or reformulated vaccines. Then they only compare the tweaked version against what came before to see if it’s better. They don’t make people forego any measles vaccine at all in order to trial a reformulated one. That would be unethical and quite frankly, a public health disaster. [/quote]

You might consider that unethical, but this is *not* the approach followed for pharmaceutical therapeutics. It is 100% not the case that the control arm in a trial for a new cancer drug is the standard of care. [/quote]
