"A reversal of a decades-long program of childhood immunizations, including a recommendation to scrap hepatitis B shots for newborn babies, could come as early as this week in a vote by an advisory committee of allies convened by the US health secretary, Robert F Kennedy Jr. Speaking to the Washington Post, Kirk Milhoan, the new chair of the federal advisory panel on immunization practices, said members would vote whether to push for the axing of the hepatitis B requirement during its two-day meeting ending Friday."
"During often testy discussions at that gathering, in which one member was caught on a hot mic calling another adviser an idiot, the panel enacted several other changes to its recommendations concerning existing vaccine policy. They included advice for people to speak with a doctor before taking a Covid-19 jab, and delaying the schedule for the combined measles, mumps, rubella and chickenpox (MMRV) shots in children."
The US health secretary, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., convened a federal advisory panel on immunization practices and appointed members who question long-standing vaccine policies. The panel will vote on whether to remove the requirement that newborns receive a hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours of birth or to delay the first dose. Panel members are examining whether the mandated childhood vaccination schedule contributed to increases in allergies and autoimmune disorders. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention altered its website to distance itself from decades of science finding no link between vaccines and autism. The panel recently recommended consulting a doctor before COVID-19 vaccination and delaying MMRV shots for children.
