The panel of federal vaccine advisors, appointed by anti-vaccine Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has postponed a crucial vote on hepatitis B vaccinations for newborns due to confusion over the proposed recommendations. This decision followed a chaotic meeting where panelists received conflicting information and presentations from anti-vaccine activists lacking expertise. The disorganized proceedings, marked by misunderstandings and misinformation, highlighted a departure from evidence-based vaccine policy. Ultimately, the panel recognized its inability to make an informed decision, resulting in a 6–3 vote to delay.
