Steve, I'm sure you're aware, Big Pharma corrupting their clinical trials has been going on for a long time, and in products developed for young people.

From the text book Vaccines & Autoimmunity (Shoenfeld et al., 2015):

"...all published Gardasil and Cervarix safety trials used either an Al-adjuvant containing placebo or hepatitis B vaccine as the "control" group (Harper et al., 2004, 2006; Villa et al., 2005; Mao et al.. 2006; Garland et al., 2007a,b; Verstraeten et al., 2008; Munoz et al., 2009). This practice persists in vaccine trials despite considerable data showing that Al in vaccine-relevant exposures is neurotoxic and can have unintended adverse immunological effects (Petrick et al., 2007; Couette et al., 2009; Li et al., 2009; Passeri et al., 2011; Khan et al., 2013) and that therefore it cannot constitute a valid placebo."

To top it off, the FDA fast-tracked approval even with these compromised trials.

Gardasil *was intended for adolescent girls and young women*. Yet Merck INTENTIONALLY designed the studies to hide adverse effects. Does it get more sinister than that?

"The more things change, the more they stay the same." - Proverb

The original 1945 fluoridation trials initiated by US players were terribly corrupted. When dental researcher and statistician, Philip R. N. Sutton, was asked to look over the trials for his Australian University, he ended up printing a 70 page monograph to describe the deceits. Immediately thereafter, political shenanigans went into high gear including mysteriously disappearing the plates of his publication. His 2nd edition included his replies to the dismissive and vitriolic defenses of the original trial authors who refused to engage in an appropriate setting and only engaged in smear campaigns. He wrote on the topic periodically over the following decades:
