Who's going to sign up to be a guinea pig in a double blind study where you could get a placebo instead of a real vaccine and never know which it is? I know I wouldn't.

Double blind studies are fine, even necessary, for some things, but for a vaccine, it sounds like Russian roulette, especially for old coots like me who are already higher risk for everything!

A pox on RFK Jr and his antivaxx insanity!

P.S. I'm trying to cut down on my use of the F word, so I'm wishing a pox on people like him these days instead.
