A\u00a0U.S. Senator<\/a>\u00a0tweeted a video asserting that the vaccine program has stopped doing safety testing of vaccines, relating this assertion to the idea that researchers need to suppress negative stories about vaccines to get universal uptake.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

They are tested thoroughly\u00a0before licensure<\/a>\u00a0and monitored by several systems and government agencies\u00a0after licensure<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The statement suggests a conspiracy to silence those concerned about vaccine safety, implying that their voices are being intentionally suppressed. We know that the number of people involved in vaccine safety research makes it\u00a0mathematically impossible<\/a>\u00a0to keep such a conspiracy a secret.<\/p>\n

When Del Bigtree talks about \u201cproper\u201d safety testing, he often refers to testing vaccines against saline placebos. Sometimes a new vaccine is indeed tested against an existing vaccine or a placebo that may contain\u00a0an adjuvant, buffers, or stabilizers with a known safety record.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0World Health Organization<\/a>\u00a0guides\u00a0the\u00a0ethical use of placebos in vaccine trials in certain situations. It is acceptable when no effective vaccine is available, and\u00a0the\u00a0new vaccine is intended to benefit\u00a0the\u00a0population being studied.<\/p>\n

However, using placebos is considered unacceptable when there is already an effective and safe vaccine accessible in\u00a0the\u00a0public health system of\u00a0the\u00a0country where\u00a0the\u00a0trial is planned. In such cases, it would be unethical to withhold\u00a0the\u00a0existing vaccine from participants if not receiving it would pose a significant risk to their health.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
