Kudos to @katherineeban.bsky.social for breaking this awful news If you were a Danish researcher wanting to do a trial to withhold a life saving vaccine in 1/2 of newborn babies in a low-income country & ethicists worldwide condemn your plan, why on earth would you take RFK Jr’s $$$ & just push on?

It’s simply unimaginable that CDC Director Dr. Erica Schwartz has just bowed to RFK Jr. and approved funding for an utterly unethical clinical trial that will withhold the birth dose of HepB vaccine in Guinea Bissau. It is to be conducted by researchers accused of academic misconduct.
