A recent vote by a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advisory panel to end the universal recommendation for newborns to receive the hepatitis B vaccine is sparking outrage. Critics are decrying the decision as a dangerous rollback of public health gains, citing concerns that it will lead to increased infant mortality and long-term health issues like liver damage and cancer. Many are expressing dismay and anger, viewing the panel's decision as politically motivated and anti-science, with some directly linking it to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and conservative political figures.
RFK Jr.’s hand-picked anti-vax panel has removed any doubt about their obvious bias and destroyed any shred of credibility for their decision-making process. CDC should reject this dangerous suggestion that will simply mean more babies die in the United States.
