Well, howdy there, Internet people, it's Bell again.

So today, we're going to talk about RFK Jr., vaccines, and the GOP getting what they voted for.

0:15.0

U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, who is also a doctor, had some things to say about

0:23.0

a Centers for Disease Control Advisory Committee voting to overturn a decades-long policy

0:29.7

on Hep B vaccines. He posted to social media, quote, as a liver doctor who has treated patients with hepatitis B for decades,

The birth dose is a recommendation, not a mandate. Before the birth dose was recommended, 20,000 newborns a year
