>I know an anti-vaxxer who says the same thing about lifesaving vaccines, but in the opposite direction. He seems to claim that there are few/no truly inert (meaning pure saline, as opposed to aluminum-doped adjuvant without the inactive virus) placebo controlled RCTs for many of the most commonly scheduled vaccines

It's impossible to know that the vaccines are net life-saving without proper placebo-controlled RCTs. Without that, you just have scientific-sounding marketing material.
