I want to be clear once more that every single vaccine on the childhood vaccine schedule in the United States has already been subjected to a randomized clinical trial. There is no evidence that giving more than one of these vaccines within the time period specified by the schedule poses any risk.

5. RFK Jr. would undoubtedly not confine his theoretical trial to the single endpoint of autism. No. He would compare every single outcome he could think of between the vaxxed and unvaxxed group. And guess what? Just by chance, something would hit. This is not science, it is thoughtless data mining.

4. When you do a clinical trial, you generally need to have evidence to support your hypothesis. There is no credible evidence in the scientific literature indicating that vaccines cause chronic disease. In fact, if anything, prior research shows the opposite.

3. There have already been randomized controlled trials of every vaccine on the schedule. The people receiving these vaccines were undoubtedly vaccinated against other diseases already. So the claims that there may be some weird interactions are nonsense.

2. The childhood vax schedule is updated with the addition of new vaccines, removal of others, timing, number of doses, and changes in formulations. RFK Jr. claims that vaccines cause chronic illnesses, so a study would need to be 10 years long, minimally. By then, whoops, the schedule changed.
