Everything about DJT and his administration wreaks of it.

US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has repeatedly claimed in public statements that most vaccines recommended for children in the US have not been tested against placebos, and particularly inert placebos such as saline solution or water.

“The only vaccine that has been tested in a full-blown placebo trial against an inert placebo was the Covid vaccine,” Kennedy said May 14 in testimony before the US Senate’s Health, Labor, Education and Pensions Committee.

“The other 76 shots that children in this country received between birth and 18 years old, none of them have been safety tested in prelicensing studies against the placebo, which means we don’t understand the risk profile for those products, and that’s something I intend to remedy,” he told Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Connecticut.


In 2023, Kennedy told Fox News host Jesse Watters: “Vaccines are exempt from prelicensing placebo-controlled trials, so that there’s no way that anybody can tell the risk profile of those products or even the relative benefits of those products before they’re mandated. And we should have that kind of testing.”

HHS is acting on Kennedy’s claims, too. The department recently announced it will require all new vaccines be tested in placebo-controlled trials before they’re licensed for use, a change it called “a radical departure from past practices.”

These claims made Dr. Jake Scott’s ears perk up. Scott, an infectious disease specialist at Stanford University, knew that the assertions couldn’t be true, and now he says he has the proof.


Scott launched a project in April to round up every randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial of vaccines in the medical literature, including studies run in other countries, since some vaccines used in the US are tested overseas.

It took five weeks to arrive at a number: There have been 258 placebo-controlled clinical trials of vaccines, according to Scott and a team of volunteers who scoured databases of medical literature. More than half of those studies tested vaccines against inert placebos.

Based on Scott’s research, at least nine of the 16 vaccines that are routinely recommended by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for children have been tested against inert placebos, while several more have been tested against active placebos.
