RFK Jr. to require placebo-controlled studies for new vaccines

[Irish_Dem]

5. Yes. ALL vaccines already are randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled studies.

This means that participants are randomly assigned to receive either
the experimental vaccine or a placebo.

A placebo is an inactive injection that mimics the real experience to the patient.

The flu vaccines receive yearly updates to reflect the mutating viruses each year.
These vaccines have already been tested thoroughly as stated above.
But the yearly updates are not placebo studies because it is unethical to withhold
a needed preventive medication. They do undergo randomized and double blind studies.

RFKjr has no idea how research is conducted. Researchers make excellent research protocols
but they must be done ethically.
