Vaccine Safety Testing

Given the range of ingredients in vaccines, a natural question arises: How exactly is safety being established? In Turtles All the Way Down, the authors note that the vast majority of physicians and researchers are completely unaware of the manner in which vaccine safety trials are designed and conducted.”32 The surprising truth is that virtually no childhood vaccines are tested against a proper control group. A proper control group would be given an inert placebo, such as salt water, instead of a vaccine.

Consider a crude, hypothetical example: Let’s say a study wanted to determine whether people get sick if they accidentally consume a new rat poison, developed by Chemical Company A. Researchers could conduct a study in which they give one group of people the rat poison and others in the study water. Those who receive water would be the group that received the “placebo.” Researchers would then monitor the adverse health events that occur in participants from both groups. They’d likely find that the people who consumed the rat poison got sick much more often.

But what if the researchers decided to do a different version of the study? Instead of giving the second group water, they give them the rat poison made by Chemical Company B. Perhaps the results would show that the people who took Chemical Company A’s rat poison had roughly the same number of adverse health events as the group that took Chemical Company B’s rat poison. The researchers could then conclude that Chemical Company A’s rat poison is roughly as safe as Chemical Company B’s.

This is similar to the way in which childhood-vaccine safety trials are run. Researchers test the safety of one vaccine against what they call a “placebo”—but it’s not really a placebo. Their placebo is another vaccine, such as an older generation of the vaccine. The placebo isn’t an inert solution like salt water. So the relative safety of one vaccine versus another is being tested—not the absolute safety of the vaccine versus an inert placebo. Attorney Aaron Siri even created a publicly available list of problematic vaccine studies in an August 2023 article called “Proof Regarding the Clinical Trials Relied Upon by the FDA to License the Childhood Vaccines on the CDC Childhood Vaccine Schedule.”33

In Turtles All the Way Down, the authors also walk through the details for certain childhood vaccines, such as the DTaP vaccine (Diphtheria-Tetanus-acellular-Pertussis). The short version, in their words, is: “The safety of GlaxoSmithKline’s 5-in-1 and 4-in-1 vaccine was tested against the triple vaccine (DTaP), which was tested against the older-generation vaccine (DTP), whose safety was never tested in a [randomized-controlled trial] with a placebo control group.”34 It’s a house of cards.

Some experts, such as Dr. Offit, have openly defended the methodology, arguing that it would be unethical to give participants an inert placebo rather than a potentially lifesaving vaccine.35 This, of course, presupposes that the vaccines are safe and effective when in fact the point of scientific studies is to determine whether that’s true.
