Left reacts strongly upon discovering that infants are not endangered by wild needle gatherings and do not require a hepatitis B vaccine.

Vaccine Advisory Committee Changes Hepatitis B Vaccination Guidelines

In a significant development, the federal Vaccine Advisory Committee voted on Friday to discontinue recommending that all infants in the United States receive the hepatitis B vaccine shortly after birth.

“I feel grateful every day for RFK Jr.’s role as HHS Secretary, and today is just one of those instances that highlights his impactful leadership,” said Blaze TV host Sara Gonzalez.

Moving forward, the birth dose of the vaccine will only be suggested for newborns whose mothers have tested positive for hepatitis B.

This decision has sparked considerable outrage among those on the left.

Gonzalez pointed out, “Despite the alarmist rhetoric you’ll see on social media, this isn’t about not vaccinating babies. It’s more about suggesting that instead of administering the vaccine right after birth, perhaps waiting until the baby is two months old could be a better option.”

“That’s all they’re really proposing. And honestly, I think they could have gone further with it. The leftist outcry is quite amusing, as if they’re saying, ‘We absolutely need to vaccinate babies within moments of birth!’ It’s almost as if they view two months as an eternity,” she stated.

“This behavior is quite unusual—almost cult-like,” she continued.

Gonzalez also mentioned that the idea of routinely administering a hepatitis B vaccine to infants, regardless of exposure or risk, seems rather excessive.

“Since 1991, the standard recommendation has been to administer the first dose of hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours of birth,” she explained, noting that the virus “is transmitted through contact with infected bodily fluids.” For those with numerous sexual partners or risky behaviors, such as sharing needles, the risk of infection can be a concern. “But my child certainly won’t be attending any wild parties,” she added, almost jokingly.
