2. NEW vaccines already DO conduct placebo control trials. He's so ignorant he is confusing THOSE with updated vax

like the annual flu vaccine for new strains, where the vaccine is essentially the same--same methodology and response--just a new strain component in the vaccine. But to start at scratch with a placebo control trial when that has already been established is not only insane, costly, and delaying, but it will mean those who receive a placebo when it has already been established that the vaccine is effective and safe are actually being put at risk. This is insanely unethical.

No IRB/Human Subjects Review Board would approve this under those circumstances.
