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.

CDC is reviving a study that withholds the hepatitis B birth dose from newborns in Guinea-Bissau. WHO raised serious ethical concerns. And $1.6M is being pulled from global health security to pay for it. Public outcry helped halt it once. We can do it again. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

It’s hard to believe that CDC Director Dr. Erica Schwartz hasn’t had extensive training in research ethics. That means she’s intentionally going to let babies in Guinea-Bissau be infected with Hepatitis B by withholding vaccine when they have vaccine available.
