tldr: A CDC-funded, Danish research group. To study if withholding the Hepatitis B vaccine for 6 weeks after birth is detrimental (as opposed to at birth, as is standard). This research group already has a history of controversy about poor and misleading research practices leading to unusable science (also in Guinea-Bissau, also on thousands of children). They were awarded $1.6 mil in a non-compete proposal under CDC’s RFK Jr; who you might remember is an antivaxxer.
Oh it gets worse, the researchers are a white Danish couple who for some mysterious reason need to do this in Africa instead of Denmark. Of course the mysterious reason is racism and it would be stopped by an IRB review in Denmark
