The committee advising the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on vaccine policy voted on Dec. 5, 2025, to stop recommending that all newborns be routinely vaccinated against the hepatitis B virus – undoing a 34-year prevention strategy that has nearly eliminated early childhood hepatitis B infections in the United States.

Before the U.S. began vaccinating all infants at birth with the hepatitis B vaccine in 1991, around 18,000 children every year contracted the virus before their 10th birthday – about half of them at birth. About 90% of that subset developed a chronic infection.

      I mean they thought why allow abortions and when you can force women and children to give birth just to watch that child die from not having necessary vaccines and healthcare.

    Bobby Brainworm don’t give a fuck. He’s been on a years-long jihad against science and he’s out to have other people’s children die for it.
