The altered Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, without new data to justify a reassessment, will no longer recommend universal hepatitis B vaccination at birth. The committee voted 8–3 to limit vaccination of newborns to those whose mothers test positive for the virus.
For mothers who test negative during pregnancy, ACIP now recommends waiting until their infants are two months of age to give them the first dose. There was no evidence provided at the meeting to support this timing change.
well the headline is a bit misleading, the recommendation was changed from ‘within 24hrs of birth’ to ‘within 2 months of birth’
still cruel and idiotic, it will lead to unnecessary suffering… but chronically ill people are easily enslaved by their capitalist overlords, if they want their medicine that is
Most of the power brokers just need the kids to live until they’re thirteen or so.
Again, from now until this malevolently incompetent adminstration is gone, it is imperative for everyone to look historically at what is needed WRT vaccinations and make sure to stay on top of the critical ones.
Just because Secretary Brainworm is saying something and getting others to play “yes man” to his insanity, does not oblige anyone in the public to listen to and obey, the shit they’re currently spewing.
Fuck those morons.
The real problem is insurance. You can get your child whatever vaccines your doctor will give them on whatever schedule but your insurance provider is likely to only cover the schedule from the government.
This is once again something that will disproportionately impact lower income families.
…your insurance provider is likely to only cover the schedule from the government…
Honestly, I doubt that. Insurers have the actuarial tables which represent the unvarnished, apolitical, straight numbers.
If the actuarials show that there is increased mortality and more importantly for them, increased morbidity (sickness) from not getting vaccinations on schedule, they’ll offer clinics to their members.
(The insurance that comes from my husband’s employer offers vaccine clinics for influenza and covid still, in spite of what the government is spewing.)
They’re not paying attention to the nonsense coming out of the beltway as they’ve got the actual numerical proof of what works and what doesn’t.
Insurance is the ONE industry that doesn’t deal with political fairy tales and governmental opinions.
They don’t give a shit because the numbers don’t lie and their profits are completely tied to them. That is all they look at.
I got a measles booster last spring since I’m old enough to have gotten the older non-viable vaccine from the mid-60’s. The insurance covered it no questions asked.
The party that cares about the children, ladies and gentlemen. /s
Where molesting them is concerned, yeah.
The brain worms are winning.
Nurgle is pleased.
Are Warhammer books any good?
Not really. They tend to be pretty amateurishly written.
Meh they’re pretty standard space opera pulp, with some better than others. The real problem is that, like any satire, eventually they forget they are supposed to be satire and begin to unironically endorse the system they mock.
And everyone in them always does the dumbest moves
I haven’t read any of them, just the reference stuff in rulebooks and wikis.
Shame. I still haven’t met anyone whose read them. It gets referenced a lot though.
I’ve read a few, they’re great filler as audiobooks.
I enjoyed xenos, malleus and hereticus by Dan Abnett.
They’re more like crime novels then warhammer smash and action from memory but still wharhammer
This is only a recommendation. The reason it’s dangerous is that now it’s up to states to decide to vaccinate babies with this vaccine and the vaccine has eliminated the cancer often caused by such an infection by something like 90%.
If you are an expectant mother please advocate for your children. Even if you’re not, we should all be advocating for our state legislatures to continue this recommendation.
I’m in Florida. Newborns won’t have a chance here.
Brilliant! Feels like a real-life-docu about a madman killing all his underlings. Oh wait, it’s the US-of A, freedom country, home of the brave with all the guns. But no proper first-world vacination.
You guys really did a 180 there, didn’t see that coming.
