3. injury from getting COVID, and some will die from it. Again, far more from the saline/placebo group will have this happen to them. Why would we want to risk people's lives to re-verify a vaccine we've already verified? It is unnecessary and unethical. It is unethical because we already know
4. the vaccines work, we already know they are safe, and we already know they prevent deaths. To re-verify that fewer people die when they get these vaccines is impossible without letting additional people die by denying them the vaccine. This is crazy, but MAHA and Kennedy don't care about crazy.
5. Randomized controlled studies are only ethical when you have a truly new vaccine for which you have not yet verified its effectiveness. Once science establishes that a vaccine works, you can't do randomized studies any more because you have to deny someone a treatment known to be effective.
6. If you are a supporter of this type of crazy, you too will be responsible for the deaths incurred by requiring unnecessary studies. That is a heavy and unnecessary burden.
