The childhood vaccine schedule has ofcourse been tested against a placebo, right?! Right?!

Watch Senator Antic ask the Therapeutic Goods Administration a range of questions regarding the extent to which placebo controlled trials have been conducted on the products on the childhood immunisation schedule.

SEN. ANTIC: “How many placebo-controlled studies have been done on vaccines on the childhood schedule?”

TGA EXPERTS: “That'd be a very difficult question to answer.”

SEN. ANTIC: “These are injections that we're giving to almost every child in the country … and we can't say?”

(Placebo controlled trials are generally considered to be the “gold standard” for clinical trials)
