What Vinay Prasad is proposing is scientific misconduct that would violate legally-mandated institutional review board review in the United States. He has never conducted a randomized control trial. He is not a scientist. He is a fraud.
They are mandating this to block approval, not encourage study

Seems more on the sinister side than ignorance to me.
thanks for sharing, Ryan
Will he hold up approvals until enough people have "volunteered" to risk being unprotected from disease? Or will he expect researchers to lie on the consent forms?
Like, will we still get tetanus and diphtheria boosters?
Are they gonna put effing tetanus through placebo trials?!
Citizens are people, not things. Not lab rats. Not resources for companies to use. Not NPCs in some warped caste-riddled worldview.
What data do P or M have to suggest the currently approved covid vaccines don't prevent severe disease, as demonstrated in their approvals?
1. The Common Rule & FDA regs. instantiate the principles of the Belmont Report. A person who wanted a covid vaccine but was unable to afford it would be pushed to enroll in research in hopes of 50% chance of getting the vaccine. At issue is the principle of justice.
2. RFK Jr fired the director and all but 8 employees of OHRP so even if NIH funds were at issue or an institution checked the box to extend the Common Rule, nobody's home.
That’s why FDA/HHS aren’t funding or even providing guidance. They set an impossible standard. The legal basis against it comes from HHS!
the premise (diminishing returns) can be examined retrospectively
which not the same as an RCT, it sets priors for prospective studies
drug/vax approvers should react fast to harm signals, more gradually to evolving indications
Listen to him
We owe pretty much everything good in life to people who did the work (who usually don’t get credit btw) and don’t set deadlines for things like “solving autism” or set unscientific and unethical standards for things like placebo RCTs for updated vaccines
Step 2: require cumbersome testing of vaccine because virus has predictably mutated
Step 3: I DUNNO? What the fuck are these clowns actually aiming at?
