RFK Jr. is a completely unqualified conspiracy theorist who is putting newborn babies at risk.

The reckless decision to end a proven vaccine recommendation has no scientific basis.

This guy has got to go.

"What we're witnessing is not reform. It's the hollowing out of an institution Americans rely on in every emergency. The actions will leave the country less prepared for the next foodborne illness cluster, maternal mortality crisis, or emerging pandemic."

The federal vaccine committee has voted to end the recommendation that all newborns be immunized at birth against hepatitis B.

This committee has zero credibility and the process for this vote was chaotic.

Please instead follow guidance from expert organizations The American Academy of Pediatrics.

The babies who will become infected as a result of this vote — and some will die prematurely of liver disease — will overwhelmingly be those born to marginalized, underserved families. This is a profound failure of evidence-based public health and a big step backwards. 2/2

#ACIP just voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B birth-dose recommendation.

There is no new safety signal. No scientific rationale.

We are dismantling a 30-year-old, cancer-preventing policy that has nearly eliminated hepatitis B in U.S. children. 1/2
A panel that advises #CDC on vaccine policy votes to do away with the recommendation all babies should be vaccinated against #hepatitisB at birth. "We are doing harm," said panel member Cody Meissner, who voted against this #ACIP recommendation. www.statnews.com/2025/12/05/c...
