Largely ignored in this discussion are the thousands of infants who spike a fever due to the Hep B shot. Most lay persons are unaware of the implications of such a fever in the first 48 hours of life. Standard of care is an inpatient sepsis workup, which includes a spinal tap, blood and urine cultures, and prophylactic powerful antibiotics. So a needless shot exposes a child and family to the additional trauma of hospitalization and drugs that in themselves have adverse events. The ACIP members who voted no are uninformed, heartless vaccine demagogs.

I watched the whole process on livestream.

I was somewhat surprised that only those 3 voted "no", but it was clear that they were partisans for vaccines.

Aaron Siri's presentation this afternoon was excellent, and was met with vitriol from the Drs. "No".
