The vaccine industrial complex is likely fuming this morning after a federal advisory panel voted to end the long-standing recommendation that all newborns receive a hepatitis B shot at birth. The vote marks a major victory for Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s "Make America Healthy Again" effort to overhaul the childhood vaccine schedule amid questions over the exponential rise in childhood autism.

The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted 8 to 3 to advise that mothers who test negative for hepatitis B should decide with their doctor "when or if" their newborns receive the vaccine. The guidance for infants born to infected or unknown-status mothers remains unchanged.

More changes to vaccine policy are likely in the coming months as the committee reviews all childhood immunizations. The meeting's presenters and at least some of the panelists are known for their vaccine skepticism.

Kennedy is viewed as "pro-safety," not "anti-vaccine," yet corporate media, heavily influenced by Big Pharma's advertising dollars, has painted the HHS secretary as an "anti-vaxxer." That portrayal is far from the truth, as Kennedy recently stated, "I believe vaccines have saved millions of lives and play a critical role in health care."

Kennedy is also exploring a possible vaccine link to the explosion in autism, noting that the childhood vaccine schedule has expanded from just a few shots to dozens.
