It happened last week: the HHS and NIH announced that vaccines will now be subjected to placebo-controlled trials. The industry and its spokesmen blew up in a fury, which is strange. If you have complete confidence in your product and the methods by which it comes to be administered to the public, you should welcome such a tightening of standards.
This wasn’t the only change. Petroleum-based dyes in foods are slated to end, with agreements with producers that are so far voluntary. Nor will taxpayer dollars be subsidizing junk food in the name of helping people, a move that has caused enormous industry protest too. The secret is out of the bag: food stamps have always and mainly been an industrial subsidy.
This is just the beginning. Dramatic changes are on the way, many of them representing a huge correction from the fake science that came to rule the world five years ago. The New York Times is panicked about the upending of government as we know it. It’s a wild exaggeration but there is no question that the ground is shifting.
When you deploy fake science backed by agency power to lock people in their homes and cancel religious holidays, what did you think would happen?
