I'm a physician who has looked at hundreds of studies of vaccine safety, and here's some of what RFK Jr. gets wrong

[snot]

1. Reading the article,

it says that kids receive "roughly 50 shots," not 92. That's a heck of a lot more than I got, although I know there are at least a few that I would have gotten if they'd been available.

And out of 378 "controlled" vaccine trials, 195 compared volunteers' response to a placebo. Are uncontrolled trials relied on at all by the CDC? We'll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they're not; that's means 52% involved a placebo. (Of course, nearly all trials are conducted by Big Pharma or their grantees.)

And as for conflicts of interest, committee members are required to divest themselves of any vaccine company stock (completely? what about their family members? But let's assume the best), and only 41% of the members received compensation ranging between $4,000 and $57,000 for travel or "consulting." The article did not address how many members had worked or were likely to go to work for Big Pharma or owned patents on vaccine-related products or processes.

In sum, assuming the article is accurate and relatively complete, the situation is only half as bad as RFK, Jr. claimed.

Is that good enough?
