A Bluesky post

Just to be clear, this is a violation of the fundamental ethical principle in clinical trial design called "equipoise."

Equipoise means that no-one is exposed to excess risk just to test the therapy. That's specifically why vaccine trials don't use placebo arms.

Ethical violation as POLICY.

I really wonder what the chuds are saying about this sort of stuff. Here's what I imagine...

Look, people die. Even babies die. It happens. But we can afford to pay for all this woke stuff! Americans used to be a tough, hardy people. Maybe some babies have to die so we get tough again.

what they'll say about it is "people are dying because of vaccines" and when you point out that more people are dying as a result of this they'll first say "no they aren't", but then if pressed, they'll say "well obviously more people are dying because people are still being vaccinated, and this just goes to show what we've been saying all along: that that vaccines are even more dangerous than we thought and the woke mob was just covering it up until now".

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
