Rejected petition Pass a law requiring all new vaccines have double blind placebo studies.
No current vaccines given to children were ever safety tested against a placebo in a double blind, long term study. The gold standard to which all other drugs are tested. To ensure future safety, pass a law requiring all new vaccines to undergo long term double blind placebo trials before approval.
More details
Current safety data on vaccines is not of a sufficient standard. In most cases trials lasted between 24 hours and two weeks. Non were tested against a placebo. It is impossible to determine safety or longer term side effects without these studies. The issue of ethics is used as a reason for not doing these studies. But it is also unethical to inject children with experimental vaccines without adequate, known safety profiles. Double blind placebo trials should be the very minimum standard.

Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
The Government and Parliament are not responsible for determining the details of how medical research should be conducted for specific drugs, which is a matter for academic, medical and ethics bodies.
You may wish to consider starting a petition that calls on the Government to require double blind placebo studies for all clinical trials, or for an inquiry into the efficacy of clinical trials or vaccination in general.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
