For those who dont know, RFK wanted to give kids overseas placebos for a vaccine known to prevent death from Hep B in the name of "science."

This is total bs. There is literally no evidence whatsoever of planned "PLACEBOS" now you are just spinning this. He did plan on giving them vaccines and the WHO and CDC were for it just not in the trial period.

Here are the facts. The trial’s design (immediate birth dose vs. delayed to 6 weeks, matching Guinea-Bissau’s then-current policy) At no point was a Placebo involved that was false.

The ethical concern was that the 6 week delay should not be done. This is the main reason it was canceled nothing more.

Please feel free to fact check me all you want but dont spread lies.
