Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

Why is #ACIP focusing on one flawed study? “When you need a 20-year-old African study with a different vaccine to question current U.S. policy, it seems like you’re shopping for conclusions, not following the totality of the evidence," @jakescottmd.bsky.social told me.

Families deserve real evidence.
Recent ACIP changes are alarming:
👥 Experts removed
📄 No clear agenda
🧪 Missing working groups
⚠️ Weak evidence for votes
Vaccines save lives, recommendations must be evidence-based.

ACIP is debating why we vaccinate all babies against hepatitis B at birth?
The CDC also presented this slide about a baby who wasn't vaccinated against hep B until age 2.5 months. The baby died of an overwhelming infection at 3 months. #ACIP

ACIP mtg re: at-birth Hep B vaccine "The questions is: is there some benefit or removal of harm that comes from waiting 1 month? and I have not seen any data that says there is any benefit to the infant of waiting a month but there are a number of potential harms to the infant in waiting a month".

The non-expert ACIP members decide there is no problem in testing mothers for hepatitis B and that any lack of information can be fixed in the hospital.
These people don't seem to have much knowledge of how birth or hospitals work in the U.S. or Hep B.
Really, this is painful.

#ACIP is considering eliminating birth dose of hepatitis B. Some members ask why not just vaccinate people at high risk? CDC tried that strategy before and it failed. What is helping eliminate the disease is universal birth vaccination.

None of the new appointees to the CDC vaccine panel have expertise in vaccines. The only difference between these people and Caligula’s horse is that the horse wasn’t an antivaxxer.
#HHS announced five new appointees to #ACIP just days ahead of an upcoming meeting that's set to weigh the future of at least three vaccinations.
Here are the five new ACIP panelists:

@jakescottmd.bsky.social is not at the ACIP meeting. But he told me that the purpose of ACIP's discussion today -- rehashing a vaccine safety issue that was settled years ago -- seems to be to just create doubts about vaccine safety. Discussion isn't adding anything new here, he said.

Today's ACIP meeting is so important. Their recommendations decide who gets access to vaccines, when, and how easily in America. Removing science from this decision will inevitably cost lives.

Vaccines for Children program provides free vaccines to American children. In 2021, 52.2% of US children were VFC-eligible. The ACIP will vote on a change to the schedule that would remove a recommendation for the combined MMRV vaccine, meaning it would not be covered by VFC for use in children.

A panel full of vaccines Skeptics just recommended that we remove choice from parents and not allow them to opt for a combined vaccine that would result in less injections overall. These are the same people that are shouting for parental choice that are talking about removing it.
