Next stop—the end of all mandatory vaccinations for babies and children. From Patti Johnson at theburningplatform.com:
On December 5, 2025, the CDC’s ACIP committee voted 8-3 to end the automatic Hep B shot for every newborn. For the first time since 1991 hospitals can no longer treat every baby as if they were born to an infected mother. The new language: Hep B at birth only if mom is positive or status unknown. For the 99%+ of infants born to Hep B-negative mothers, the shot is delayed to at least 2 months with “individual-based decision-making” between parents and doctors. This is a win for medical freedom and common sense. But make no mistake, this is only the opening salvo in a long and brutal war against an industry that now demands over 70 doses of other vaccines by age 18.
If you did not have a chance to listen to the ACIP meeting here is the vote breakdown with some member quotes:
YES – End universal birth dose (8 votes)
- Vicky Pebsworth: “Most European countries give the immunization a few months after birth… the U.S. is an outlier.” (My note: babies and children do not need this shot at all, even three months later. But at least she voted yes to ending the birth shot mandate.)
- Hillary Blackburn: “We have to make decisions with the data that we have, and we must use only the credible data to make the decisions, and not speculations and not hypotheses.”
- Robert Malone (vice chair): “The risk to most babies is very low and… hepatitis B is largely a disease of sex workers, drug users and immigrants from countries with high rates of infection.”
- Retsef Levi: “The risk of infection throughout your early stage of life, and probably throughout most of your childhood, is extremely low.”
- Four additional members voted yes, echoing low risk and parental rights.
NO – Keep forcing it on every newborn (3 votes)
