“If the authorities think the vaccines are safe and save lives, which they believe, intentionally maintaining a control group would be unethical.”
True. But it’s done all the time in testing. There is always a control group that doesn’t get the medication, and some of the results are pretty horrendous.
But the operative word is think. With no testing, they really have no idea. And to say something is definitively safe when all of the prior requirements to put out a new drug are skipped over is dishonest.
But only until it becomes clear the drug being tested is safe and offers a significant benefit. At that point you ethically have to offer it to everyone and the blinding protocol is broken.
That happened long ago with the approved vaccines.
Many countries have de facto control groups because they simply don’t have enough vaccine to give to everyone. This has in effect actually been done in India regarding Ivermectin where some states like Uttar Pradesh have actively promoted an Ivermectin protocol (I wish I knew what else they included when their health workers distributed it in many thousnds of villages). On the other hand, other Indian states actively prevented using Ivermectin if what I read is correct and had much worse Covid statistics.
I believe the only reason they vaccinated their control group is to erase the control. They are fully weaponized and unaccountable to the public. THere’s a reason there are 70 CCP members on Pfizers ‘Investments Board’.
