Outrage over reported CDC funding of hepatitis B vaccine trial
Original: Outrage grows as CDC reportedly poised to fund "unethical" vaccine trial CDC allocated $1.6M for study on alleged harms
The CDC has reportedly allocated $1.6 million for a study into alleged harms of the hepatitis B vaccine, a trial critics call unethical because it would reportedly expose babies to infection risk. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is said to still back the funding. Commenters are condemning the trial as dangerous and scientifically unnecessary, given the vaccine's long safety record.
Why now: Reports that federal health agencies may fund a trial exposing infants to infection have sparked fresh controversy over vaccine policy under RFK Jr.
