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

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.
