“Requiring placebo-controlled trials for vaccine approvals is more of the ‘radical transparency’ HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. promised us.
“These trials will tell us more about the true efficacy of vaccines and help identify any harm they might cause. This is a first for our country and another welcome advancement from the administration in protecting our children.”…

“The problem in issuing the existing smallpox/monkeypox vaccine an EUA, is that it was already approved by the FDA, even though it has not been tested in the public much beyond the initial trials conducted by the drug company.
