Here is Jay Bhattacharya speaking at an antivaxx conference that alleged COVID vaccines killed more than 20x the amount of people they helped. (Numbers fabricated from Twitter surveys.) It’s worth remembering he has never treated a COVID patient, and has actually never treated any patient himself

If the block on the Federal Register isn’t removed in the next few months, I fear a majority of labs will close within a year. This small procedural wrench has the power to kill US science indefinitely, losing an entire generation of discovery and innovation.

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.
