He can only try to assert his ignorance to stall approvals of the new vaccines, such that we will have deaths and hospitalizations from COVID-19 and influenza as a result. Your suggestion it is the vaccine manufacturers who are the problem-- is to accept his idiocy. He has no clue and thinks that a simple update of the fully evaluated methodology used to create all the COVID-19 and Influenza vaccines thus far, including a newly emergent COVID-19 variant or known influenza strain, requires going back to a two-year or more placebo control study. Those who know better and have been involved in this work know that these require a comparison trial to show efficacy against the prior vaccines, but not a repeat of placebo as the comparison group. Using a placebo with active virus circulating puts those individuals at well-established risk and is thus unethical at that point-- not to mention all the rest of the population put at risk, given the long delays this would mean for getting the updated vaccines out there.
No.. Right now, those who know better will have maximal skepticism toward RFK Jr.'s stance on the vaccine, and if confidence is to be put anywhere, it is going to be with the virologists/vaccinologists outside of government who have independently evaluated what the vaccine producers are doing. And in this case, there will undoubtedly be more faith in the latter--the companies-- than the former. To put your trust in RFK Jr. over the vaccine companies right now is to buy into his decades of idiocy--that very warped and limited understanding of immunology, virology, bacteriology, vaccinology, epidemiology, public health, and medicine that has made him the current most dangerous anti-vaccine spewer out there.
Please rethink for your own well-being and that of those you care about.
