4/ ACIP recently voted to end the universal birth dose recommendation, despite no strong evidence. This change puts babies at risk and assumes perfect screening, which doesn’t reflect real-world care gaps.

3/ The birth dose is a critical safety net. It protects infants who may be missed by screening, exposed by household contacts or whose caregivers don’t know they’re infected. 90% of infants infected at birth develop chronic infection.

2/ Hepatitis B is a highly infectious virus that attacks the liver and can cause lifelong illness, liver cancer and death. It spreads easily, even without visible blood, and can survive on surfaces for 7 days. Hepatitis B is preventable with vaccination.

A newborn baby is laying under a blanket with an adult hand on its head. "Hepatitis B vaccination at birth is the safest and most effective way to prevent infection in babies."

🧵1/ CDPH and the West Coast Health Alliance strongly support routine hepatitis B vaccination for all newborns, starting with a birth dose within 24 hours. This aligns with trusted medical orgs like @AmerAcadPeds & @ACOG.

these gross fucks. just scum.

The White House press corps is absolutely covering this up. What an embarrassment.

It really is amazing that the president has a noticeable an unexplained physical ailment that is disfiguring his right hand and there's no reporting about it. The White House's line is that it's from Trump shaking too many hands! Something is clearly being covered up.

Bad framing: ACIP voted to scrap the universal hepatitis B vaccine recommendation for newborns.

Accurate framing: Anti-vax conspiracy theorists appointed to ACIP by Robert Kennedy Jr., who made a fortune as an anti-vax profiteer, voted to expose babies to a preventable, incurable, deadly illness.

If so, it is quite possible that the suspect reached this belief by consuming media produced by the current Director and Deputy Director of the FBI.

this is really it — this case isn't about the legitimacy of birthright citizenship or the 14th amendment, it's about the legitimacy of the court, and any ruling that doesn't uphold the former decides the latter

The White House surrenders at 138 million views. Sabrina wins.

wtf is a FIFA peace prize? that's like being an NFL laureate in physics

Dec. 5, 1955. AFL-CIO Founding Day.

Happy Founding Day to the @aflcio.org!

For 70 years, we’ve fought for fairness, dignity, respect and a voice on the job for working people everywhere. Now 15 million strong, the power of our solidarity is stronger than ever. Here’s to the next chapter of progress for workers!

The Hepatitis B vaccine was expected to prevent 9.5 million infections, 2.4 million chronic cases, and save 600,000 lives in the US by 2050.

The federal vaccine committee has blood on their hands.

the hands look like they're clawing at it, not holding it up

looking forward to either a 6-3 decision that trump as God Emperor of the United States can change the constitution by fiat or a 5-4 decision that 14th amendment means what it says with a dissent from thomas that actually the constitution recognizes donald j. trump as sovereign

US Supreme Court agrees to hear case challenging birthright citizenship Donald Trump's controversial executive order to end birthright citizenship had been rejected by lower courts.

Well fuck. The Fourteenth Amendment was nice while it lasted.

We should note that @ifpte21.bsky.social has also joined the UTR-IBT856 strike!

That’s Ziggy on the left and Precious on the right. #DogSky

Me: *pets or even just talks to Ziggy*
Precious: Yes, but have you also considered that I am baby?

Being trans disqualified you from being involved or having any say at all in the nyt coverage of trans people. That was true 5 years ago, and it’s true today.

It’s the definition of prejudice.

The Secretary of Defense taking extrajudicial killing requests from podcast hosts

good reminder that ezra notwithstanding, charlie kirk was and turning point usa is a vicious proto-fascist organization devoted to harassing and silencing political enemies and glorifying violence.

Publishing all the other boat murder videos but refusing to release the one of the two survivors being killed is an admission they know exactly how bad it looks. There's no other distinction to draw there, no reason to publish the others while withholding that one.

The boat was split in half. 9 men were dead. 2 more clung to a floating piece of wreckage and tried desperately to flip it over for 41 minutes straight. There was no possible way they were going anywhere.

Then they were killed in cold blood by the U.S. military.

Yep. Murder.

Trans people suffer the most violence in prison. PREA was never enough but it’s just disgusting to roll it back.

Murder. This is murder.

Fuck yeah.
