Please do not take medical advice from this administration. Listen to the actual experts.
Kressly: So let’s talk about the contagiousness of hepatitis B. It can live on surfaces, and it can be spread through touch—from someone who is shedding the virus to someone else.

So when we’re in situations where we can’t know 100% who is at risk, the right answer is to protect everyone.

Hoeg: What if we had like, a center. A center where scientists worked. And at this center they study diseases and how to control them. We could call it…
Hoeg: need dedicated team of scientists to put together risk/benefits.
me: that's what workgroups and CDC staff did under the previous, expert ACIP.
Hoeg: if public could read rationale, inform public.
Me: ACIP materials and recommendations were public.

Attorney Aaron Siri’s presentation at ACIP is, in my opinion, a direct case of corruption.

He is a close ally of RFK Jr., whose law firm also profits from suing various entities about vaccines.

He was RFK Jr.’s personal lawyer. And he has sued to take polio vaccine off the market
RFK Jr.'s lawyer and top ally asked FDA to revoke approval of a polio vaccine
Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s personal attorney previously petitioned the Food and Drug Administration to revoke its approval of a polio vaccine.

The country's biggest anti-vaccine lawyer, the guy behind weakened school mandates in Mississippi and West Virginia, who pulls in millions a year harassing the CDC on behalf of Del Bigtree's anti-vaxx org is ... presenting at ACIP. This panel is anti-vaccine theater. It's a cruel joke.

Attorney Siri who is currently suing HHS is not presenting science. He is discussing his strategy for his lawsuits.

Milhoan is making the literally incredible claim that their proposal will solve the problem of testing for HBV because of
their recommendation that insurance must cover it.

This is delusional and again highlights his lack of foundational public health knowledge.

'A vote to weaken the Hep B birth dose, is the first time in my 21 years as liaison w/ ACIP, that ACIP is voting on a policy that based on all the credible evidence, it will actually put children at higher risk, rather than lower risk of disease & death. ~Dr. Amy Middleman

A CDC scientist is making the VERY GERMANE point that the “peer countries” of the U.S. are completely different because they have nice things like nationalized healthcare and health registries that track the health of their population throughout life.

Not so here. Not even close.

You’re going to hear a lot today about “other countries” not having a birth dose of HPV vaccines, so please keep Dr. Raifman’s post in mind as they lie to the public.
Did you know?

190 countries have infant immunization schedules that include the Hep B vaccine

115 countries recommend a universal birth-dose of the Hep B vaccine, one of the key actions WHO recommends to reduce Hep B prevalence

A doctor who lives with hepatitis B. Story of her birth, got hepatitis B in first month, unclear how. Birth dose would have protected her. Sees patients with hepatitis B every day, including adults with no risk factors, generations in U.S., life affected, die early. Strong effect

As demonstrated by @thevaccinationstation.org in this infographic, Dr. TracyBethHoeg’s and Dr. Pebsworth claim that the U.S. is an outlier on hepatitis B vaccine birth dose in #ACIP today was incorrect.

ACIP members when asked why they are bringing this up now, what is urgency? Their answer: stakeholder groups. Ok. Name them.

What about the stakeholders representing the entire scientific community?

Boom. ACIP member Hibbeln has had it with the nonsense.

Anti-vaxxer and Harvard MBA Mark Blaxill admits he doesn’t have evidence of harm of HBV vaccine at birth, other than “

Hibbeln responds, emphatically:

“So speculation and limited evidence. Okay. Got it”.

Blaxhill just said we don't have enough safety evidence to know if the hep B vaccine is safe.

This massive analysis from @cidrap.bsky.social found the opposite, after looking at 400 studies over 40 years. #ACIP
