No more COVID-19 boosters without evidence
You too can pledge no more shots without RCT
The issue with perpetual COVID-19 boosters is what evidence is needed to justify their push? The answer has to be randomized trials powered for reductions in severe disease, hospitalization and death.
Yet the FDA seems to be moving in the opposite direction, thinking mouse antibody data is good enough. Now a number of doctors, researchers are swearing: no more boosters till RCT
Here is a couple
Kevin Bass@kevinnbass
I am not taking any boosters and my children are not getting any more COVID vaccinations either.
We will wait until there are clinical trials in humans before we will take another COVID vaccine.
FDA should be rigorous and science-based, not pharma's lackey. https://t.co/AhkjKwHTtN

@VPrasadMDMPH I have taken my last COVID vaccine without RCT level evidence it will reduce my risk of severe disease. I would volunteer for the RCT.
3 doses + omicron recovered and otherwise healthy 40s man.

I admit, that I had to join them
Vinay Prasad MD MPH@VPrasadMDMPH
I also vow not to take any more till RCT
I took at least 1 dose against my will
It was unethical and scientifically bankrupt
I am not done with that error
No more

Here is a good explanation for why
Todd Lee@DrToddLee
@SonnyCrockett04 @VPrasadMDMPH I don't think we can say with credibility what the objective benefits are for someone like me to take an additional dose, nor what the rate of any rare but important side effects would be. So, I'm not sure how someone would offer me informed consent.

What about you? Time to join the movement
#RCTorSTFU
You state that you took 1 dose against your will. As a medical professional, you know that is against every medical ethic. You knew that being forced to take an EUA drug was against the rule for EUA drugs. But you went along with it and you have encouraged people to take the shots- over and over again. This is the first that you have said to not take it.
You should have said, "NO" and preferably, "HELL NO" the first time you were being forced to take it and encouraged everyone you knew to do the same. You could have saved so many from serious and life threatening adverse events. I am glad that you are finally making a stand, but I wish you did so long before now.
Welcome to the "dark side"! I was clueless about vaccine injuries until Nov '21 when I did a deep dive while considering getting a booster (Oh. maybe my 2nd Phizer shot caused the PE that put me in the hospital in Jan '21?). Once I discovered the risk of myocarditis, I was at least able to convince my teenage son and nephews not to get the booster. No such luck with my wife and daughter who have "drunk the Kool-aid." I wasn't an "anti-vaxxer" before Covid (as a firefighter had a flu shot every year and got plenty of shots in the Army). But, I sure am now! If you actually go down the vaccine safety rabbit-hole, you'll discover the childhood vaccines also have a mostly bad risk/benefit ratio. Pharma and CDC/FDA lies have been going on for decades (I'd suggest the book "Turtles All the Way Down" for a good intro with plenty of mainline references).
