RFK Jr. and CDC Panel Question Hepatitis B Vaccine Safety
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and a new CDC vaccine panel are raising doubts about the safety and necessity of the hepatitis B vaccine for newborns, despite extensive evidence supporting its safety and effectiveness in preventing serious liver disease. Experts emphasize that the vaccine has been crucial in drastically reducing hepatitis B cases and related complications, and there is no credible evidence linking it to autism or other risks. The controversy stems from Kennedy's claims and recent changes in the vaccine advisory panel, but scientific consensus affirms the vaccine's safety.
