Bad framing: ACIP voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns.
Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.

Misguided. It’s obvious based on these studies that the leading cause of autism are circumcisions.
In all seriousness, can the children in the room pls sit down and let the actual MDs and scientists go back to conducting scientifically sound research and show you how to *actually* interpret data

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

#CDC has been informed of another pediatric #flu death in the 2024-25 season. That makes 267 children who died from flu this season. Such a tragedy.
90% of these kids (of those for whom vax status is known) weren't vaccinated, up from 82% in 2023-24. www.cdc.gov/fluview/surv...

The platform: mRNA—the fastest we have against threats like H5N1.
The reason? RFK Jr.’s skepticism.
The risk? Deadly delays when the next pandemic hits.
