The new placebo-trial protocol for COVID boosters is part of a health safety initiative of HHS head Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) plans to require new, placebo-controlled trials before approving COVID “vaccine” booster shots for healthy Americans under 65 years old.

The change was announced by FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary and vaccine chief Dr. Vinay Prasad in a paper published by the New England Journal of Medicine, as part of a health safety initiative of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., head of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

In May, Kennedy ordered that all new vaccines be required to undergo placebo-controlled safety trials ​​in a break with longstanding establishment policy, triggering protests from mainstream media outlets.

For years, Kennedy has criticized the fact that vaccines have been exempted from a placebo trial requirement in place for medicines. Placebo trials allow researchers to identify adverse side effects from a drug, clarifying that symptoms are not due to other factors such as the disease the drug seeks to protect against. For this reason, placebo trials are “critical for determining the safety profile of the new drug,” as BioPharma Services has noted.

The prior COVID shot policy, Makary and Prasad wrote, “has sometimes been justified by arguing that the American people are not sophisticated enough to understand age- and risk-based recommendations.”

“We reject this view,” they added, suggesting that the risk of a COVID booster shot not tested through a placebo-controlled trial is greater than the risk of COVID itself, especially the healthy, under-65 population. COVID often does not pose serious risks even to the elderly if treated correctly.

Previously, COVID shot boosters only underwent research designed to gauge the body’s immune response to the injections, two of which — the Moderna and Pfizer shots — used experimental mRNA technology.

However, many doctors and scientists have said that not only the COVID booster shots but the original COVID shots have not undergone sufficient safety studies. Earlier this year, the McCullough Foundation published a study titled, “Review of Calls for Market Removal of COVID-19 Vaccines Intensify: Risks Far Outweigh Theoretical Benefits,” citing grave harm caused by the COVID shots, including severe injuries and deaths.

“The total number of COVID-19 vaccine deaths reported to VAERS (37,544 among all participating countries) have far exceeded the recall limits of past vaccine withdrawals by up to 375,340%,” the authors noted.

They stated that “no large-scale, conclusive, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials have demonstrated reduction in infection transmission, hospitalization, or death as primary endpoints” for the COVID “vaccines.”

Makary, Trump’s pick for head of the FDA, and Prasad, the FDA’s pick for the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, have both gained prominence as outspoken critics of the government and medical industry’s handling of the COVID-19 outbreak.

Alberta Justice Also Argento concluded that the major airline WestJet must pay Duong Yee, an accountant based in Calgary, $65,587.72 in damages.

Canada’s second-largest airline has been ordered by a judge to compensate one of its employees who refused to take the COVID shot and was “wrongfully terminated.”

In a ruling, Alberta Justice Also Argento concluded that the major airline WestJet must pay Duong Yee, an accountant based in Calgary, $65,587.72 in damages.

Court documents show that Yee, who worked for the company for 11 years, was put on unpaid leave on November 1, 2021, and was then fired from her job. Her termination came shortly after the federal government of now former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had mandated that all workers of federally regulated industries receive the COVID shots.

Yee had tried to avoid getting the COVID shot through a religious exemption, which was denied by WestJet.

Justice Argento ruled that WestJet could have allowed Yee to work from home to avoid having to get the jab instead of firing her outright.

“The regulations only required the defendant’s employees who were physically accessing ‘aerodrome property’ to be vaccinated,” wrote Argento.

“They would not have applied to the plaintiff while she continued to work from home. The defendant was aware of the regulations, but did not consider whether the plaintiff could continue working from home as an alternative to dismissal.”

Justice Argento also observed in his ruling that the plaintiff’s “refusal” to get the COVID jab and comply with WestJet’s jab policy “did not impact her job performance,” and it did not “endanger the defendant’s employees or the public as the plaintiff was working from home.”

“While the plaintiff was wrongfully terminated, the surrounding circumstances do not attract aggravated damages,” noted the justice.

“The dismissal was not conducted in an unduly insensitive or egregious manner. Furthermore, the plaintiff led virtually no evidence explaining how the dismissal impacted her.”

Yee’s claims for both moral and aggravated damages were dismissed by the court.

In October 2021, Trudeau announced unprecedented COVID-19 jab mandates for all federal workers and those in the transportation sector and said the unjabbed will no longer be able to travel by air, boat, or train, both domestically and internationally.

This policy resulted in thousands losing their jobs or being placed on leave for non-compliance.

Many pilots and airline workers lost their jobs as a result but have fought back via lawsuits.

LifeSiteNews has published an extensive amount of research on the dangers of the experimental COVID mRNA jabs that include heart damage and blood clots.

The mRNA shots have also been linked to a multitude of negative and often severe side effects in children, and all have connections to cell lines derived from aborted babies.

Canada’s Vaccine Injury Support Program (VISP) was launched in December 2020 after the government gave vaccine makers a shield from liability regarding COVID-19 jab-related injuries.

Recently, VISP injury payments are expected to go over budget, according to a Canadian Department of Health memo.
