🎯 "The U.S. should be funding expanded use of the HepB birth dose in G-B and not experimenting"
A couple more thoughts on the HepB vaccine trial in Guinea-Bissau that RFK Jr. just funded.
-A single-blind study is concerning
-The endpoints are unclear, setting up an opportunity for p-hacking

The experiment would not be allowed in Denmark or the US, where vaccination-at-birth is already the standard of care.
Withholding vaccination at birth lacks equipoise, given the high risk of lifelong chronic infection when acquired early in life.
As noted yesterday, it clearly violates Helsinki.
