ACIP Reverses Newborn Hepatitis B Vaccine Mandate Amid Safety Data Scrutiny

Discover why the committee responsible for vaccine policy removed the Hepatitis B shot recommendation for newborns and see the compelling arguments raised regarding the historical lack of long-term safety studies.

Short Summary

  • The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted 8-3 to end the routine recommendation for administering the Hepatitis B vaccine to all newborns at birth.
  • Critics argue this policy existed primarily to ensure pharmaceutical profits, as the vaccine was not adopted by the intended adult population.
  • A major point of contention is the absence of randomized, placebo-controlled studies tracking adverse events beyond the first few days post-injection.
  • This policy shift is attributed, in part, to shifts in committee membership supporting evidence-based medicine, specifically referencing RFK Jr.'s influence.

This segment analyzes the recent decision by ASIP to remove the Hepatitis B vaccine mandate for babies born to Hepatitis B negative mothers, shifting the decision to parents and physicians. The discussion pivots around the historical necessity of the shot, detailing critiques about why it was initially added to the childhood schedule and highlighting critical failures in long-term vaccine safety monitoring systems.

Description

The ACIP committee has voted by an 8-3 margin to remove the CDC’s recommendation for giving newborns a hepatitis B vaccine at birth. Jimmy applauds this decision, arguing that the policy was never supported by adequate safety data. He highlights comments from committee members and critics who say vaccine injury data is lacking because the system is designed not to track it. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss historical reporting and commentary from RFK Jr. and Robert Malone to argue that the hepatitis B vaccine was added to the childhood schedule for pharmaceutical profit rather than medical necessity. Jimmy concludes that RFK Jr.’s role as health secretary enabled the policy reversal and criticizes parents for not questioning newborn vaccination practices.

This is true. We had a newborn this year and they tried to make her get the hepB one not even 24 hours after she was born. We both were like “ummm why??”. They got kinda preachy about it but we stood our ground. A 12 hr old baby. Insanity!!

Hello from Belgium. I find it beyond sickening that most parents over there put SO MUCH blind trust into the drug companies that are KNOWN for unaliving anywhere from 200,000 to 400,000 Americans ALONE annually. Babies here are never given that poison and the "Vitamin" K is an optional eye drop medication which I refused. Learn about DELAYED CLAMPING. NO baby needs ANY of that poison!!! Wake TF up for heaven's sake! My youngest daughter is 11 and we don't even know her blood type because they don't take blood by scraping their feet as newborns and as my kids have only ever had the odd cold, I've no idea what her blood type is as she's never been seriously ill. Doctors are monsters over there ! 😡

Doctors are trained to trust the system not think critically.
