Nesting is a very real phenomenon and every time I come home with a Home Depot bag I see another small piece of my husband die on the inside.

See this? It's called a non-inferiority trial. It compares the new vaccine with the current vaccines to see if the new vaccine does better. This new vaccine did.
Placebo-controlled trials are not needed to test most new vaccines. Demanding them will only reduce vaccine access. Which is the point.

A few months ago I started having palpitations which I thought were either from (1) too much Coke Zero while on a busy consult service or (2) the collapse of society under Trumps 2nd term — or both.
Turns out it was a secret third thing.

Irresponsible public health leadership is dangerous and it kills.
The head of DHHS routinely tries to practice medicine without a license via podcasts and TV interviews and encouraged Vitamin A as treatment for measles. This is the direct result!

Every vaccine already requires informed consent by law. This is pure antivaxx disinformation, now coming from the CDC.
HHS orders CDC to halt some vaccine ads, saying RFK Jr. wants message focused on ‘informed consent’
The CDC was ordered to shelve promotions it developed for a variety of vaccines after Health Secretary RFK Jr. said he wants message focused on "informed consent."
