#Vaccines for new pathogens are often tested this way. But for well-researched #diseases, such as #measles & #polio, #PublicHealth experts say it makes little sense to do that & can be #unethical, because the #placebo group would not receive a known effective intervention.
#HHS did not clarify how the change will be implemented & for which vaccines the testing would apply, nor did it define what the dept meant by “new vaccine.”

@MarionDonnelly @luckytran I'd say this as a matter of #PublicHealth.
- #YellowFever #VaccineMandates are older than me and I think it's only reasonable to #mandate #vaccines espechally since governments refuse to reintroduce #MaskMandate|s but push for #MaskBan|s.
I guess having Pre-Boomers die of old age is the problem because many #Boomers got raised by #Polio #survivors flexing the #trauma of loosing up to 75% of their classmates by threatening to disown them if they didn't #Vaccinate their children!
- This isn't a matter of choice: We mandated #helmets for #motorcylists and #SeatBelts in #Cars for over half a century and this has been a net positive for everyone!

Few people could have failed to notice the cheerfulness, not to say joviality of the youngsters as they made their way in crowds to the schools yesterday after the fours months of unbroken holiday.… “What about going back to school?” was the question asked of a group making their way to a school at #Kelburn. “It’s all right” came as a chorus, and later some young ones who go to school by ferry boat quite declined to wait till a later boat, preferring to get over early in the hope of having some time on the beach—a thing which they had much missed.… the parents were quite as cheerful… considering that all gatherings at seaside, sports, entertainments, and churches were barred. It has been necessary; but it is to be hoped that it will be quite a singular experience…, and that the terrible illness—or any other of epidemic proportions—will not visit these shores again. Medical science and research as they progress should find precautionary measures, and if immediate precautions are taken to isolate the little country so far as epidemical scourges are concerned, it is to be hoped that the experience may never be repeated.…

Idk if this is true, but I want to share it just in case someone needs to scam their doctor into vaccinating them against polio and this actually works.
Up for an evening of not dying of an easily preventable disease, since #vaccines exist and #sciencerules? Join W7L on FT8 on 20m, 40m, and 80m to celebrate April 12, 1955, the day that the FDA approved the #polio #vaccine and millions of kids got to avoid paralysis and death for the first time. #PolioOnTheAir
On This Day In History
@onthisday
Today in 1955, 70 years ago: The #polio #vaccine, developed by Dr. Jonas Salk, is declared safe and effective.
#OnThisDay Yuri Gagarin becomes first human to travel to outer #space (1961). This day is celebrated as International Day of Human Space Flight.
#NASA launched the first #SpaceShuttle #Columbia (1981).
The #Polio #Vaccine, developed by Dr. Jonas Salk, is declared safe and effective (1955).
Israel is preventing the entry of polio vaccines into Gaza, threatening the gains made in seven months of efforts to combat the spread of an epidemic.
At least 602,000 children in Gaza at risk of permanent paralysis
The Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip has likened Israel’s prevention of polio vaccines in the besieged and bombarded territory to “a time bomb that threatens to spread the epidemic”.
In a statement, it said 602,000 children in Gaza were at risk of permanent paralysis and chronic disabilities unless they could receive the desperately needed vaccines.

Has nobody seen #Oppenheimer? The #Apollo mission?
Has no one seen, with century old technology, what we accomplished against diseases like TB, #polio, #malaria, #MMR?
What we lack is courage, imagination, and daring.
Fuck these retrogrades. Fuck them. Fuck their input or opinions.
