The January 5 #HHS memo on childhood #vaccines calls for "gold standard medical research to assess overall health outcomes related to
all immunizations on the revised schedule."

Good critique by #JessSteier: "You can’t ethically run placebo-controlled trials on vaccines that are already known to work and are the standard of care. Withholding a proven vaccine from children in a control group violates the Declaration of Helsinki. This is a foundational principle of research ethics. So when they say 'we need gold standard science before we can trust this schedule,' what they’re really saying is 'we’re going to set an impossible bar and then act like the vaccines failed to clear it.'"
