He eivät kuitenkaan pystyneet välttämään heitä, kun tietoiset tiedot olivat esitettyä toisistaan, ei-votilaiden osalta. Ihmiset, jotka ymmärtävät ja ovat tietoisuutta nähdä tietoja, pysyivät takaisin.

But others on that committee came in, in my mind, predetermined to change the hepatitis B vaccine as part of an incremental strategy to erode access and confidence in vaccines.

Se on oikea. Tämä oli täysin ilman mitään syytä, mitään todellisuutta tai mitään takia sanoa, että haluamme muuttaa sitä, koska uskomme, että tämä voisi olla parempi.

There is no ongoing study. There were no studies to say that when we delayed this till two months, there were no increased cases of hepatitis B. There were less fussy periods after vaccination. Why did they arbitrarily pick two months? This is all not based in fact.

It is a made up whim that without any scientific basis, but no matter what they said, it erodes the confidence that parents and families deserve to have. I want every parent in America to feel as confident in giving consent to vaccinating their child as I am in recommending it.

I would never recommend for your child what I don't do for my own and my grandchildren, and I did not hesitate for one second to vaccinate them at birth.

Problem we have is that we have non-experts and not expert processes now making public health recommendations. When you exclude the true experts and the transparent process,

from all the public health recommendations, you can no longer trust the recommendations. And so we have now gotten to a place where the recommendations from the ACIP should not be trusted by anyone. And so that leaves a big void. The American Academy of Pediatrics and my colleagues and I are standing up

to be that confident voice of fact-based, expert-informed recommendations. So please listen to our recommendations. They can be found on HealthyChildren.org. There are lots of pediatricians who are in the public space speaking up. In the meantime...

We all as citizens of this country need to push back against our legislators and our policy makers. We will not stand for this. Our public health depends on them creating the space and the place for experts to inform the public what is in their best interest.

They will be accountable. History will judge them accountable for harms that are done because of the erosion of the confidence in vaccines and of these non-science-based recommendations.
