Trump nominee's top ally calls for polio vaccines to be pulled from market

A lawyer helping Robert F. Kennedy Jr. pick his public health team for the incoming Donald Trump administration has asked the government to revoke its approval of the polio vaccine, according to a new report.

Kennedy ally Aaron Siri, who represented him during his failed presidential bid, has also filed a petition on behalf of the Informed Consent Action Network asking to pause the distribution of 13 other vaccines and challenged Covid vaccine mandates, demanding millions of pages in documents from the Food and Drug Administration.

The polio vaccine has been widely used in North America and Europe and studied extensively since its development in 1977, according to its manufacturer, and more than 280 million people have received it worldwide, but Siri has called for the shots to be pulled from the market until they can be tested against placebos in randomized, double-blind clinical trials.

(Bold mine)

This lawyer is (offense intended) a fucking moron. You don’t do placebo studies to test vaccines against a rare and incurable disease. If you did, it would be necessary to find test subjects willing to be injected with poliovirus. But, since there’s no cure for polio, you’re going to run the risk of crippling people for life. Placebo-involved studies are used to test cures, not vaccines.

Unethical, much?
