America got less healthy today, with the ACIP decision to no longer recommend the birth dose of the Hepatitis B Vaccine. As you can easily see in the picture, the incidence of Hep B infection dropped dramatically after the birth dose was implemented in 1991.

The Hepatitis B vaccine given at birth is one of the most important steps we can take to protect newborns. Hepatitis B can be passed from mothers who may not know they carry the virus, and early infection can lead to lifelong liver disease.

The birth-dose vaccine is safe, effective, and recommended by leading health organizations worldwide.

Not sure how long this link will be active, but even now the CDC still advises the birth dose: CDC: [https://www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safety/vaccines/hepatitis-b.html](https://www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safety/vaccines/hepatitis-b.html)
So do the major physician and epidemiology groups, including the
AAP: [https://www.aap.org/en/news-room/fact-checked/fact-checked-hepatitis-b-vaccine-given-to-newborns-reduces-risk-of-chronic-infection/](https://www.aap.org/en/news-room/fact-checked/fact-checked-hepatitis-b-vaccine-given-to-newborns-reduces-risk-of-chronic-infection/).

If you’re expecting or welcoming a new baby, talk with your healthcare team about the Hep B birth dose. Protecting your child begins on day one. 💛

Just a friendly PSA from actual doctors who actually care about children:

AAP President Dr. Susan J. Kressly responds to the recent changes on the CDC’s website - “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website has been changed to promote false information suggesting vaccines cause autism. Since 1998, independent researchers across seven countries have conducted more than 40 high-quality studies involving over 5.6 million people. The conclusion is clear and unambiguous: There’s no link between vaccines and autism. Anyone repeating this harmful myth is misinformed or intentionally trying to mislead parents.

We call on the CDC to stop wasting government resources to amplify false claims that sow doubt in one of the best tools we have to keep children healthy and thriving: routine immunizations. The American Academy of Pediatrics stands with members of the autism community who have asked for support in stopping this rumor from spreading any further."

Vaccines do not cause autism. Neither does acetaminophen (Tylenol) use in pregnancy. Decades of rigorous research and systematic reviews have shown no credible link. Continuing to promote these myths is not only unproven, it is dangerous. It risks public health by undermining trust and discouraging vaccination, while also distracting from the real work of supporting individuals with autism and their families.

The will continue to uphold scientific rigor and review any new evidence thoroughly. Families deserve nothing less. Read our full statement here: https://bit.ly/48AlBZE

Although entirely predictable, the recent announcements by RFK Jr and the current HHS/CMS/NIH leadership are well beyond the "red line."

As Dr Paul Offit makes plain in his substack below, the studies that our esteemed HHS secretary uses to justify his decisions literally show the opposite of what he claims.

How did he get it so wrong? His method of summarizing, as we often see in those who want to buck the system of mainstream medicine, is to cherry-pick a small dataset. He then incorrectly applies that small portion of the data to the entire study, and then uses that to generalize advice to the entire population.

Not only is this plainly incorrect, if you are someone with a large amount of influence, such a mistake can easily grow exponentially and cause way more harm.

As always, we will continue to advise vaccinations that have been shown to be safe and effective. We will also go out of our way to even further emphasize vaccinations in our must vulnerable populations (pregnant women, patients over 65, patients with chronic medical conditions, healthcare workers, etc).

Thank you for your attention to this matter. ;)

"Deeply Troubled"

That is how the Pediatric Infectious Disease Society feels, and I am right alongside them. It isn't hyperbole to suggest that we are headed for an overall worsening of the health of our nation.

Rest assured, we at BFM will continue to use the scientific method to determine medical recommendations, rather than relying on anecdotal evidence. We still strive to use Evidence-Based Medicine at every opportunity, and will continue to do so.

We will try, as we always have, to compare and contrast and constantly review the advice of physicians and scientists and medical societies from around the world. When there are reasonable disagreements because of conflicting evidence, we commit to continuing to dive deeper into those studies, and look for flaws or obvious biases. When there isn't clear evidence to guide us, and there are multiple reasonable options, we will do our best to present those options to our patients and together reach a shared treatment decision.

Regardless, one thing remains the same at BFM: we want to do what is best for you and your family!

We look forward to new challenges and we are hoping for continued good health for everyone as we all try to take care of each other!
