And just like Tuskegee, nothing of value will be gained from this "study." The Hep B vaccine's been around since 1965. A bunch of people got it since infancy for decades, if there were adverse effects we'd know by now. They're endangering someone else's kids and raising their future risk of contracting the disease and liver cancer, all for their expensive circus show to claim Vaccines Bad.
TLDR: RFK Jr. was part of the US's decision to pull funding away from international vaccine distribution, and now he wants to "study" whether the long-established Hep B vaccine works or not by intentionally witholding it from children in Guinea-Bissau.
Leatherface would do us all a favor if he volunteered his immune system first.
You know that study will be made to fit their agenda. In other words, they are going to harm African children intentionally to fit their anti-vax narrative.
That’s the plan of the study. Withhold the vaccine from some babies in a country with already high rates of Hep B (so they will be at high risk of contracting it). And then monitor mortality. For a vaccine we already know is safe and effective they’re prepared to let a portion of the population of Guinea-Bissau die.
As someone who has received the hepatitis b vaccine series, it works. Not sure why this is even up for discussion. Hepatitis can cause cancer in men, which is exactly what prompted me to request it from my doctor after my good friend was found to have throat cancer as a result of contracting hepatitis. What these people are trying to do is insane and absolutely unethical.
I don’t doubt that at all, but as a man, this was my immediate and specific focus of my research and concern. I do appreciate the additional information for myself and everyone else in the thread.
I just got my hep b not too long ago. It wasn’t available in the 70s or else my mom would have absolutely taken me to get it. 70s moms didn’t screw around with vaxs.
Yeah pretty fucked up. In medicine there have actually been cases in studies where the experimental group's treatment was so obviously impactful it would've been unethical to continue to withhold the treatment from the other group. This is just being cruel for no reason.
Highly unethical? This administration? I'm shocked. Shocked, I say.
Hey, it worked really well with the Tuskegee Experiment (motto: Some of you may die but that is a sacrifice I’m willing to make.)

And there would be absolutely no chance they’re going to do it in Africa because “those people” are expendable.
Those who don't learn from history will doom others to repeat it
"History doesn’t repeat itself but it often rhymes,” as Mark Twain is often reputed to have said.

Instead of vaccinating people we're giving them the disease... logical evolution of CDC
Center for Disease Control, it's right there in the name. /s

Harm both vaccines and black people.
Totally on brand for Trump.

Hep B can cause cancer in anyone not just men. It’s the leading cause of liver cancer.

For them killing black people is a legitimate reason and the crueler the better.
How can The Guardian act so blameless for all this.
