HBV is dangerously stable—it can survive for a week at room temp and for months at colder temps. Its resilience makes it easy to spread and hard to kill, underscoring why neonatal vaccination and strict hygiene are essential.

One of the scariest proposals from RFK Jr. is removing the HBV vaccine from childhood schedules. Without it, millions of newborns would face lifelong hepatitis B infection—the #1 cause of liver cancer and failure globally. To deny kids this protection is akin to child abuse.

Measles has spread to over 650 people in Texas and the vaccine is the only thing that will stop it. We already knew this, but still so sad to see the raw facts- nearly everyone getting infected is unvaccinated. I just hope no one else dies and parents are ensuring their kids are vaccinated.
