1/ ACIP’s meeting last week was disgraceful, unprepared, & chaotic. They voted to roll back the universal #HepB birth dose despite no evidence of harm, and pushed an antibody test that doesn’t reliably guide decisions. This shift will have real consequences—with babies and families paying the price.

It's been over two weeks now and they still haven't released the Epstein files because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

The committee is currently breaking for lunch, but here a piece of Ed’s summary of this morning’s ACIP meeting
We now have a presentation from Cynthia Nevison, a CDC contractor. Nevison has long been a proponent of the claim that vaccines cause autism and is also a climate researcher.
Nevison begins by claiming that more targeted measures have had the biggest effect in bringing down HBV incidence.

Pebsworth is now presenting on the Policy Context and Schedule Comparison for the birth dose of hepatitis B vaccine, concentrating on instances where mothers test negative for the virus.
She states that the evidence reviewed deals with single-antigen hepatitis B vaccines, not combination vaccines.
