UPDATE: Another Chicago-area church has put up an immigration-themed Nativity scene.

A church member at Urban Village Church sent this one along, where Mary, Joseph and Jesus are gone and replaced with a sign that reads: “Due to ICE activity in our community, the Holy Family is in hiding.”

Sec. Kennedy must appear before the HELP Committee to explain why his vaccine advisory committee, in strong disagreement with the medical & scientific community, voted to end a decades-long recommendation that newborns receive the hepatitis B vaccine.

This vaccine saves lives.

After the ACIP announcement on hepatitis B vaccination,
NY state and city wrote to all prescribers to reiterate:
Newborns born to birthing parents who test negative for hepatitis B infection and have a birth weight ≥2000g (4.4lbs) should be vaccinated within 24 hours of birth.

CDC advisers vote to overturn decades-long policy on hepatitis B vaccine for infants In a controversial move, the vaccine advisory group reversed a recommendations for universal immunizing of newborns intended to protect them from a virus that attacks the liver.

In a controversial move, the vaccine advisory group reversed a recommendations for universal immunizing of newborns intended to protect them from a virus that attacks the liver.

Clinicians hate finding Hepatitis B in adults when it's causing liver damage, cirrhosis, cancer. It's preventable. It never needed to happen. But when it isn't prevented and progresses, we can't just reverse it. It's awful.
A simple vaccine has been offered to protect every baby born since 1991.

What does this mean? It means that RFK Jr and his goons have decided to withhold a lifesaving (Yup) vaccine from infants. The impact will go on for decades even if it were to be reversed by a future panel that actually cares about evidence and public health. ACIP, at this moment, is a SHAM.

HEALTRGATE RFK, JR: THE PUBLIC MAN-MADE DEATH The government has cut $783 million in federal funding to basic research and 56% of HIV clinical trials have been halted. New HIV infections are predicted to increase 49% by 2030. ACT UP LEARN THE FACTS DISMANTLING HEALTHCARE = DEATH

ACT UP NY announces HEALTHGATE, “a campaign released on the heels of World AIDS Day…that condemns Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s deadly pseudoscience-led healthcare death circus while calling for the implementation of the New York Health Act & sustained funding for public & global health”

Trump Administration Will No Longer Commemorate World AIDS Day

Every year since 1988, the United States has recognized World AIDS Day — until now.

Why not? Maybe because the Trump administration doesn’t want to acknowledge that its foreign aid cuts led to nearly 150,000 deaths from AIDS, according to Boston University researchers.

Shameful.
