Making disease great again: HHS funds discredited vaccine research
Today on “What Could Possibly Go Wrong,” RFK Jr’s Department of Health and Human Services is funneling federal money toward researchers proposing to withhold a routine hepatitis B vaccine from thousands of newborns: all in the name of “asking questions.”
Last month, the Department of Health and Human Services awarded a $1.6 million no-bid grant to two married Danish researchers whose prior research on vaccines had been widely discredited by respected members of their home country’s scientific community.
The researchers sought to conduct a study where they would withhold a birth dose of the hepatitis B vaccine to 7,000 newborns while administering it to 7,000 others to see if the vaccine’s recipients would experience any negative health effects.
Such research puts lives in danger. Hepatitis B can be deadly — it claims nearly 2,000 U.S. lives each year. Additionally, experts have determined that vaccine delays increase the chance of chronic infection that could lead to a “high risk” of liver disease at a young age.
As measles is taking off again, it seems HHS is now focused on an effort to revive other infectious diseases we could otherwise easily eradicate. The administration is actively pursuing junk science and investing taxpayer dollars in the effort. These are the end times: they’ve tried to blame autism on everything but autism, and are warning people away from life-saving vaccines, and have seemingly put the last stake into whatever remains of a social contract in the US.
Just a guess, but I imagine many of the anti-vacs cult members think Budweiser and Jack Daniel's daily are a-ok, but vacs are poison.
