On December 5, 2025, the CDC’s ACIP committee voted 8-3 to end the automatic Hep B shot for every newborn. For the first time since 1991 hospitals can no longer treat every baby as if they were born to an infected mother.

The new language: Hep B at birth only if mom is positive or status unknown. For the 99%+ of infants born to Hep B-negative mothers, the shot is delayed to at least 2 months with “individual-based decision-making” between parents and doctors. This is a win for medical freedom and common sense.

But make no mistake, this is only the opening salvo in a long and brutal war against an industry that now demands over 70 doses of other vaccines by age 18.

If you did not have a chance to listen to the ACIP meeting here is the vote breakdown with some member quotes:

YES – End universal birth dose (8 votes)

• Vicky Pebsworth: “Most European countries give the immunization a few months after birth… the U.S. is an outlier.” (My note: babies and children do not need this shot at all, even three months later. But at least she voted yes to ending the birth shot mandate.)

• Hillary Blackburn: “We have to make decisions with the data that we have, and we must use only the credible data to make the decisions, and not speculations and not hypotheses.”

• Robert Malone (vice chair): “The risk to most babies is very low and… hepatitis B is largely a disease of sex workers, drug users and immigrants from countries with high rates of infection.”

• Retsef Levi: “The risk of infection throughout your early stage of life, and probably throughout most of your childhood, is extremely low.”

• Four additional members voted yes, echoing low risk and parental rights.

NO – Keep forcing it on every newborn (3 votes)

Big Pharma’s shills:

• Cody Meissner: “We are doing harm by changing this wording and I vote ‘no.’”

• Joseph Hibbeln: “Why is there pressure today to change something that has been working, due to safety concerns that may be more theoretical than real?”

• Raymond Pollak: Voted “no” with no extended quote; simply wanted to preserve the universal mandate.

Why This Is Only the Beginning of the Battle – And Why Vaccines Are Poisoning Our Children

The Hep B birth dose was the easiest target: an STD (sexually transmitted disease) vaccine given on day one of life with zero transmission risk in 99%+ of families. Hospitals jab newborns within 24 hours for a disease tied to sex and drugs, ignoring that tiny immune systems are still underdeveloped and vulnerable. Eliminating that vaccine was a no brainer. If we can cancel the mandate for that shot, can we cancel the mandates for the rest?

If you do the research and know the facts, you can mount a serious case against all the mandated vaccines given to babies and children. The vax schedule exploded from just two vaccines in the 1950s and nine in the 1970s to over 30 by age two and up to 70 by age 18 today pumping a cumulative 250 strains of bacteria and viruses straight into childrens bloodstreams. This bypasses natural defenses at mucosal barriers like the eyes, nose and mouth, where mucus and antibodies trap threats. Instead, it floods organs, including the brain, with unfiltered poisons. Each dose carries a cocktail of horrors: aluminum adjuvants that build up in neural tissue, formaldehyde and mercury that cross the blood-brain barrier, acids, contaminants, animal DNA, unidentified viruses and fragments from aborted fetal cells.

When Big Pharma developed the currently mandated vaccines, proper double-blind, placebo-controlled trials were not conducted. Studies of long-term damages were skipped in rushed trials funded by the pharmaceutical companies themselves, the classic case of the fox guarding the henhouse.

Autism rates have skyrocketed. SIDS spiked after jabs. Gardasil is linked to premature ovarian failure and fertility crashes in tweens. And the PCV20 pneumonia vaccine alone dumps 20 bacterial strains into infants, compromising immunity and priming for worse infections.

Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease among children and adolescents in the United States

Childhood cancers which were once rare are now common, with September marked as Childhood Cancer Month. Why? Vaccines, like the old polio shots, contained the SV40, (a monkey cancer virus) known to the developers, Salk and Sabin, but this was ignored in order to speed it to market. The contaminated polio vaccine spiked ependymomas by 37%, osteogenic sarcomas by 26%, other bone tumors by 34%, and mesothelioma by 90% in exposed groups.

Big Pharma is still using the SV40 cancer virus in production of vaccines today. A common method of culturing a vaccine is to use cancer cells like the Simian monkey cancer virus- SV40 or the Human hepatoma cell line- HepG2 -cancerous liver tumor cell line. Cancerous tumor cells are used because cancer causes cells to replicate over and over quickly for decades. They use these “immortal” cancerous cell lines like SV40 or HepG2 liver tumor cells to cut costs. These cell lines replicate endlessly and carry mutation risks. It is all about money and not about safety.

Japan slashed infant schedules and watched SIDS plummet. In the Amish communities the only children who have autism were adopted and had to be vaccinated for the adoption to go forward. The stats are out there for us to win the battle, but the Big Pharma controlled mockingbird media spreads their lies far and wide. Here in the US, Pharma’s liability shield since 1986 has allowed them to profit billions off our children through vaccine mandates.

The story nobody wants to touch.

And then there is the moral horror very few pastors will touch: many childhood vaccines – MMR, varicella, hepatitis A, chickenpox, COVID and others were developed or manufactured using cell lines from aborted babies. For a list of Abortion Tainted Vaccines…

According to Children of God for Life:

RA273 cell line: Rubella Virus used in Rubella and MMR vaccines: 67 abortions were performed to develop the RA273 cell line.

WI-38 cell line for Rubella and MMR vaccines: 99 abortions were performed to create the WI-38 rubella cell line portion of the Measles Mumps Rubella MMR vaccine alone.

These are not “a few cells from decades ago.” They are immortalized cell factories that require continual harvesting of new fetal tissue to scale production. Dr. Stanley Plotkin admitted under oath to using 76 aborted babies in his research.

The Horror Factories that develop Vaccines and Meds

As I documented in “Where is the Outcry?” babies at 5 – 6 months gestation, are delivered alive in altered abortions, dissected without anesthesia so their organs stay “fresh.” Dr. Theresa Deisher testified that these children are “delivered alive and their hearts cut out… or they cut through their faces… without anesthesia. She cried, “I wouldn’t do that to a mouse.” Other doctors and nurses confirm the same horrific practices. This is child sacrifice for profit, plain and simple and is still going on all over the country to develop vaccines. New babies are still being murdered and used to make medicine and more vaccines because nobody is speaking out. The same churches that marched against abortion stay silent when the body parts end up in the shots they mandate for Sunday school or their k-12 schools.

Put on your armor and get back into the battle

We have only just begun. The same industry that fought us over the Hep B mandate will not go down without a fight. Our children have been a captive market for their greed for decades. They will flood the airwaves with fear, continue to buy off the AAP, the AMA, congressional and state candidates for office and threaten doctors who speak out. They will sue states that expand exemptions. But we now have proof the system can be cracked. Eight ACIP members just stood against decades of inertia and Big Pharma pressure. Parents are waking up. Lawsuits are mounting. RFK Jr. is inside HHS. State legislatures are listening. Spread the word. Pray for afflicted kids. Pray for RFK Jr. Stay in the battle for the long haul. Our babies’ lives depend on it.
