URGENT: RFK Jr. Plans to Strip Hepatitis B Protection from Newborns - Remove Him
28 so far! Help us get to 50 signers!
Kennedy's hand-picked vaccine advisory panel is expected to vote this week to delay hepatitis B vaccination from birth until age 4, a dangerous decision that dismisses 30 years of scientific success and risks newborns across America.
Since universal newborn hepatitis B vaccination began in 1991, cases among children dropped 99 percent, from 3.03 per 100,000 to less than 0.1 per 100,000 (NPR, September 2025). This public health achievement has saved countless lives and nearly eliminated childhood hepatitis B infections. Kennedy's proposed delay has no scientific support - former CDC officials confirm there has been no analysis or data review to justify this risky change. It shows ideology taking precedence over evidence and conspiracy theories over medical expertise.
The consequences will be deadly. Hepatitis B spreads through tiny blood traces that can survive for seven days on surfaces. Half of those infected don't know they carry the virus. Children infected early face lifelong risks of liver cancer and cirrhosis. Kennedy's delay will remove insurance coverage from families who opt for early vaccination and leave vulnerable newborns open to a preventable, potentially fatal disease.
American families deserve health agencies led by doctors and scientists, not conspiracy theorists who reject proven medical interventions. While measles cases hit a 20-year high under Kennedy's leadership, he continues dismantling vaccine infrastructure that protects our children. Remove Kennedy immediately and restore scientific integrity to our federal health agencies. The health of our nation cannot be entrusted to those who deny basic medical facts.
