I hate to agree with this nut job RFKjr, but I think this is a good idea. Vaccines should be evaluated uding double-blind placebo tests, as are most drugs. It completely makes sense. The results will calm down the skeptics.

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?

And what would even be the benefit? We are so cooked as society

Exactly, you cannot run a double blind placebo controlled trial without clinical equipoise. This administration doesn't understand clinical trials 101 and is going to make the US 10000x worse for infectious disease. MAGA, by making it virtually impossible to develop preventative therapies for the worst diseases known to man. Can you imagine if we had this dimwit alive while smallpox was around? Imagine giving placebos to people with smallpox. Utter madness.

Actually, almost all vaccines in the US have gone through double blind placebo testing the only ones approved, not having done this, via the animal rule are: anthrax (three different ones I think) Ebola, and monkey pox/small pox. Education is useful. This just shows how dumber the administration is.

But that's only when it is ethical. If the news is reporting correctly, RFK is saying it is for ALL.

Here's some placebo kiddies, now go out and play in some zika infested woods. Yay.

And I’m saying that all approved vaccines already go through it in phase iii prior to their approval with the exception of the ones listed: anthrax, Ebola and monkey pox. This is not a new thing, it is already happening. There may be trials out there but anything deemed “approved” has already met these standards. The only thing I can think of is that he will make companies do them again (chicken pox or flu vaccine) where currently they are able to rely on the data of the placebo group from the original study.

The flu vaccine formula is updated very year to match the most recent flu strains. It will be literally impossible to a clinical trial with a placebo every year just to update the flu vaccine. That standard would effectively shut down production of annual flu vaccines because the timeline is too short and it would be cost prohibitive.

Do they make the flu vaccine in Canada or Mexico? Can Americans go across the border and just get some vaccines from our neighbors if we pay for it?

Not all of them. There are vaccines for terrible conditions where they have to give active treatment due to ethics, which this seems to want to do away with.

They're probably trying to make it extremely difficult to run trials for vaccines. They'll magically have "data" soon showing how autism rates are declining after vaccine rates decreased due to making them harder to approve. They'll argue it is "evidence" vaccine cause autism therefore we need to severely curtain their approvals and use.

Most vaccines go through placebo testing already. Usually happens in Phase III for new vax. Something already cleared say chicken pox, new versions do not need to go through a placebo testing phase because they use the data from the first trial. Just more expense nothing new here.

This is something new and it will prevent the production of the flu vaccine altogether. This policy show exactly why we shouldnt appoint a conspiracy theorist nut job lawyer with no healthcare experience to run HHS.
