The Control Group
In a clinical drug trial, the placebo control group are the participants who receive an inert product, such as a saline injection or a sugar pill. This control group is vert important, they are used as a comparison group to assist in determining the effectiveness and the safety of the experimental product that is under investigation.
Blinding
Clinical trial protocols are generally designed where by all participants are “blinded“, meaning they don’t know which group they’ve been assigned to – treatment or placebo. A “double blind” trial means that, in addition, the people administering and assessing the trial data are also “blind” to what each participant has received. All with the intent of removing or reducing bias.
Inert Placebo Control vs Active Control
Some clinical trials are designed where the control group receives an active product not an inert placebo, such as was done in the case of AstraZeneca‘s COVID-19 vaccine trials and with all past childhood vaccine clinical trials. In these cases another vaccine is given to the control group. What is not commonly known is the vaccine “control” has never been tested against a placebo – all vaccines are simply assumed to be “safe”.
Randomised Control Trials
To further help reduce bias and confounders, the pool of trial participants are randomly divided so that half randomly receive the experimental treatment product and half randomly receive the control product. Though, note these randomised participants are pre-selected as “health” individuals – so not a true representation of the overall population – already a bias.
A randomised control trial (RCT) is generally considered the “gold standard” for medical product assessment, but even RCTs are not always double blinded and they don’t always use a inert control! So a randomised, double blind, inert placebo control trial one would think would logically be a superior study design.
The Control Group
The control group is the comparison group, and allows for statistical probability calculations to be made between a treatment and no-treatment. The randomised control group is important to help assess whether changes are due to natural variation or are the result of the experimental treatment.
The control group helps to determine if the experimental treatment does what it is intended, is effective, and to assess whether it is safe, by determining whether any adverse consequences occur and at what frequency they may occur, compared to the treatment group, both in the short term (day, weeks, months), but also over the longer period of time such as years into the future.
Post-marketing surveillance, cataloguing adverse events that occur when a product is administered after regulatory approval (emergency or full approval) is very important for long-term safety assessment.
Trial “Phases”
Clinical trails in humans are split into Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 3 where generally the number of participants in each phase increases from 1 to 2 to 3, but also Phase 1 is usually completed and assessed before Phase 2 begins, and Phase 2 is completed and assessed before Phase 3 begins.
Usually before human trials begin, trials have been conducted using animals.
When dealing with human lives these separated phases are important to minimise unforeseen human loss and adverse events. In the COVID-19 vaccine clinical trials the Phases were compressed and combined!
The COVID-19 vaccines clinical trials were conducted at warp-speed, combining all Phases at some point.
And post-marketing surveillance did not actively look for known, and concerning safety signals – they left this for the recipient to fill in a blank field.
Consequences of unblinding a clinical trial
At some point a clinical trial is unblinded, which means both “the scientists” and the trial participants are made aware of their “product” status – whether they were in the control group or the treatment group. If the control group then takes the treatment, the experiment is over. The long-term safety or efficacy assessment opportunity has been eliminated.
Shockingly the COVID-19 mRNA clinical trials were un-blinded after as little as two months and before regulatory “emergency used authorization” was granted in the United State. – TIMELINE
Big Pharma’s Pfizer and Moderna, eliminated their Phase 2/3 placebo control group, by unblinded them in late Dec. 2020 and Jan. 2021, respectively. AstraZeneca never had a placebo control in the first place, only a “control” group…big difference. – WATCH
The Unvaccinated: The Vounteer Control Group
In a mass vaccination campaign, for any product, expecially an experimental, emergency use product, the only comparative group, or “control group” becomes the unvaccinated members of the population. The unvaccinated population allows for trends in data to be discovered regarding vaccine safety and efficacy issues – though this is very much dependent on government data reporting.
The push for vaccinating everyone was based on the “assumption” that the injections generated sterilizing immunity and therefore the injections would allow for vaccine induced herd-immunity to be generated. But it was known from the clinical trial design that only symptoms (COVID-19) was assessed, TRANSMISSION was never assessed by Pfizer, and likely the other manuractures for stopping infection or transmission of the virus, SARS-CoV-2. Public health promoted an assumption, now science, just hope.
We knew everyone would get this virus, those who chose to remain unvaccinated have always been part of the volunteer control group for the global experiment. They have been attacked and stigmatised for choosing to allow their bodies’ immune system to function and protect as it was always designed to do. They were informed. They chose not to consent. That used to be our right!
The healthy, unvaccinated (never received any shot) are fairing well in this pandemic. The less vaccinated or the under-vaccinated are generally fairing better (if they managed to get through their first 2 shots un-harmed) in the long term, but the immune attacked, multi boosted aren’t doing as well. The following links collect data points that will reveal this picture.
At the end of the day it should always come down to personal choice whether to accept a medical intervention. The immune comporomised and those who didn’t intervene with early immune boosting interventions are tending to populate the “flatten the curve” hospitals – stop blaming the control group.

- The study “discovered that because the interface between the IIS and the EHR required a manual query to pull the information into the EHR, it was difficult to identify unvaccinated patients.”
- The study says that in one of the most widely used Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems, Epic, there are four options for healthcare systems to classify someone’s vaccination status. ‘Unvaccinated’ is not one of them and “there is not an option to change the status to unvaccinated.”:
- 1) Fully Vaccinated,
- 2) Partially Vaccinated,
- 3) Postponed,
- 4) UNKNOWN
- The study found that nearly half of patients with an ‘UNKNOWN’ vaccination status were in-fact PREVIOUSLY VACCINATED, [though would have been classified by default in the CDC system as “unvaccinated”]

- Clinic electronic health records (EHR) and the Immunization Information System (IIS) at the state level, were not communicating automatically. SO HOW DID CDC get their data about vaccination status!
- “The EHR system used is Epic. The COVID-19 vaccination status is defined within the EHR in 4 different ways: fully vaccinated, partially vaccinated, postponed, or unknown. The status is “unknown” if there is no record of a COVID-19 vaccine…There is not an option to change the status to unvaccinated.” – The Highwire – EXCERPT
- Researches found 44% of “unknown” category had previously received a COVID-19 vaccine, these were classed as “unvaccinated”

Covid-19 has laid bare crippling interoperability issues – READ, ARCHIVE, Chief Nerd – CREDIT, The Highwire – CREDIT. The GP enters info into the EHR -> State immunisation record (but these two electronic systems were NOT communicating!)
- “If you get the shot at a local hospital that is affiliated with your doctor, the vaccination information might show up in your electronic health record (EHR). However, if it doesn’t, or you get the shot through a pharmacy like CVS, your vaccination information may end up stranded on the little paper CDC vaccination card you receive with your shot. The onus will be on you to give your doctor your vaccination information, which will have to be manually (hopefully without error) entered into your EHR.”
- [Thus a person vaccinated external to the hospital has an “unknown” vaccination status, and the staff don’t ask, and the CDC recognise these injected persons as Unvaccinated]
