I despair that we can't seem to communicate a very simple fact: *EVERY vaccine gets compared to placebo*. Some get compared directly, some get compared through an intermediary, but ALL get the comparison.
/
(And of course I know why the people who won't accept it won't: they're convinced that vaccines have massive safety problems that somehow escaped ALL attempts to detect them except the ones done without rigor, so every new vaccine has to be another bite of that apple...)

I thought we didn't do this due to clinical equipoise - the harm of the disease is known and the methodology of vaccines is known but I'm sure im misunderstanding something.. not a scientist!
Today, they suggested new parents "do their own research" about vaccines.
If there's anyone who has the time, energy, and mental acuity to design and implement a rigorously controlled and adequately powered clinical trial, it's parents of newborns.

To round out the point you were making, HHS appears to be on the verge of abandoning the concept of equipoise in the responsible good clinical practice and management of clinical trials for vaccines. Their policy is to leave pts. on placebo even after the harm to them in doing so becomes evident.

But have you compared them to essential oils?
My research shows a giant chasm in efficacy

You would reach more people, when you add a good description into the Alt-text field.
That is pretty easy, especially, when your image just contain text.
This way, you support visually impaired people and everyone else, who rely on a good filled Alt-text.
