""He did say that he had spoken to the president, he spoke to the president every day about changing the childhood vaccine schedule," Monarez testified."

Susan Monarez said she was forced out after refusing to "pre-approve" vaccine recommendations from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s handpicked advisors and to fire career CDC scientists. She testified that Kennedy told her in August that changes to the childhood vaccine schedule were coming and that he had spoken to the president every day about changing the schedule.

Health committee Chair Bill Cassidy warned that weakening the newborn Hepatitis B recommendation or delaying shots could reverse dramatic declines in cases and cost lives.
