Rejected U.S. Research Project was Deadly anti-Vaccine Scheme

The outraged pediatric infectious disease expert Paul Offit, MD, had previously likened the RFK Jr's anticipated study to "The Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male." In that instance, the US Public Health Service and the CDC, between 1932 and 1972, "knowingly withheld life-saving antibiotics from 600 African American sharecroppers in Alabama ... so that investigators could observe the neurological outcomes of untreated syphilis." In this "dark stain on American history ... Most [of the men] died from syphilis."

Existing US standards had forced the HHS planners to carry out the proposed project in Guinea-Bissau. Resource shortages caused local health officials to administer the hepatitis B vaccine at six weeks of age, despite the fact that the WHO recommends babies be vaccinated at birth. Doing so protects them against infection carried by mothers and family members. US healthcare providers have followed that practice since 1991. Since then, US children have gained almost universal protection against hepatitis B infection.

Link: Inhuman RFK Jr/HHS Proposal

Immediately after seizing power on 20 Jan 2025, Dummkopf Trumpf idiotically withdrew the US from the World Health Organization (WHO) and then he callously dismantled USAID which used to assist in combatting diseases in the Third World. RFK Jr recently cut $2bn funding from mental health counseling and substance abuse clinics and last year this miscreant cut millions of dollars from vaccination research, Now we learn the despicable RFK Jr wanted to conduct anti-vaccine experiments on vulnerable African infants, knowing that half of them would have suffered with shortened lifespans.
