This study comes after the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, which now includes several vaccine skeptics, eliminated long-standing recommendations for Hepatitis B vaccines for newborns. The CDC intends to fund a five-year, randomized controlled trial in Guinea-Bissau of the hepatitis B vaccine — giving some infants the vaccine at birth and others the vaccine at 6 weeks of age. The study is considered highly unethical because it withholds a proven, life-saving vaccine from newborn babies with the goal of promoting Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s anti-vaccine agenda. “This is a new low for the Trump administration," said Ranking Member Zoe Lofgren. "I am absolutely disgusted. To withhold a lifesaving vaccine from babies across the globe to promote your anti vaccine agenda at home is deplorable. How has it come to this? RFK Jr. must be stopped.”	1	2026-03-30T01:40:41Z	2026-03-30T11:08:25Z
