Bracing Ourselves for More Sham Vaccine Studies

According to the statutes of the FDA’s Public Health Service Act, vaccine manufacturers are
required to prove a vaccine complies with three criteria before approval and launch: safety,
purity and potency. There are no requirements before FDA approval and licensing that a vaccine
undergoes independent studies by researchers with no vested financial interests and industry ties
in order to validate a vaccine maker’s claims. Rather, the entire approval process is nothing more
than a good-faith relationship between the vaccine industrial complex and the FDA and the
CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice (ACID), the primary entity determining
vaccine policies.
