Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called “equipoise.”

Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That’s specifically why vaccine trials don’t use placebo arms.

Ethical violation as POLICY.

    Of course vaccines and fluoride in the water are going to be the targets of this regime. They’re extraordinarily effective for a modest cost. There isn’t a whole lot of business to be done around them outside the public sector.

    Compare that to painkillers, plasticizers, and various food additives, which make billions a year through poisoning people. The deeply rotten stuff won’t get treated, and we’ll get distracted by a red herring instead.
