What this article neglects to state is that these vaccines already undergo randomized placebo-controlled trials.
RFK Jr. is trying to kill yearly vaccine updates which no longer require a placebo because they are proven to work already.

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise."
Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically *why* vaccine trials don't use placebo arms.
Ethical violation as POLICY.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr will require all new vaccines to undergo placebo testing, WaPo reports
U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr intends to shift the way vaccines are tested, The Washington Post reported on Wednesday, citing a spokesperson from the HHS.

I'm taking Florida Archaeology this semester.
I've had such a hard time enjoying my life here. The heat...the politics...the lack of fragrant forests...the abundance of mosquitoes. But I'm really looking forward to finding out some really cool things about this mostly uninhabitable peninsula.

Please don't tell someone w/ADHD that we all lose our keys or we all bump into walls or we all forget things from time to time.
With ADHD it isn't "from time to time." It's numerous times a day, every single day. Go to bed. Wake up. Rinse. Repeat. Your attempt to "relate" makes us feel dismissed.

To call it an echo chamber is to assume people can't distinguish between facts & lies. It also implies that they don't go anywhere else to acquire knowledge & reputable info. This sounds like projection to me.
