Podcasts about Hepatitis B

Ahead of the next legislative session this month, Arizona Democratic state lawmakers held a town hall at the end of December on Missing and Murdered Indigenous Peoples (MMIP). KJZZ's Gabriel Pietrorazio has details. State Sen. Sally Ann Gonzales (Pascua Yaqui/D-AZ), chair of the Arizona legislature’s Indigenous Peoples Caucus, made no promises. “We will not have solutions for you today.” But she and others spent three hours listening. Reva Stewart (Diné) believes families are repeatedly asked to relive their trauma by testifying with no results. “Listening without action has become a pattern. Legislation without enforcement is not protection. Taskforce without authority or accountability are not solutions. Meetings without funding are not justice.” Roxanne Barley (Cocopah) complained that criteria changed for the state's Turquoise Alert, originally designed to notify the public of Indigenous disappearances. Of the five alerts in 2025, only one was for a Native American – a teen in Yuma. “That was the lie that we were promised, that was the hoax that we were told.” But State Sen. Theresa Hatathlie (Diné/D-AZ) explained how lawmakers negotiated and compromised. “And that is the ugly truth of politics.” Alaska state health officials are still recommending the hepatitis B vaccine for all newborns, despite a recent, controversial change in federal guidance. The virus has historically seriously impacted Alaska Native communities. Alaska Public Media's Rachel Cassandra has more. Hepatitis B is a virus spread through bodily fluids and from mother to baby during childbirth. Historically, Alaska has had high rates of hepatitis B, especially among Alaska Native people. In the 1970s, widespread infection led to high rates of liver cancer in Alaska Native children. State Epidemiology Chief Dr. Joe McLaughlin says screening and vaccinations have helped reduce rates of hepatitis B in the state. And McLaughlin says the vaccine is still important in Alaska, which has struggled with high rates of chronic hepatitis B. “This universal birth dosing helps to ensure every baby receives protection, regardless of their location or access to care or any follow-up challenges that they might have, this approach has definitely helped reduce disparities in hepatitis B outcomes across Alaska for decades.” Public health experts credit the vaccine with dramatically lowering the risk of developing chronic hepatitis B, serious liver diseases, and liver cancer. For over three decades, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended that all babies across the country get the vaccine at birth. Then, last month, the CDC narrowed its guidance, recommending the vaccine only for infants born to women who test positive for the virus or whose status is unknown. The guidance says women who test negative should consult with a health care provider before vaccinating their newborn, but McLaughlin emphasizes that the CDC also acknowledged that each state has to consider its own hepatitis B rates and risk factors. “Alaska, where the rates are nearly three times the national average, clearly falls into a higher-risk category as a state in general. And our data support continuing universal birth dose vaccination to protect infants in Alaska.” Health insurers have said they will continue to cover the hepatitis B vaccine.

Our panel of medical experts discuss the biggest health headlines of the month from federal changes in vaccine guidance to the effect of sleep on longevity to the reinvention of weight loss drugs.

WORT 89.9FM Madison · Wisconsin DHS Breaks Ranks with CDC on Hepatitis Vaccine Dr. Ryan Westergaard(Photo courtesy University of Wisconsin Department of Medicine) Back in June, U.S. Secretary of Health Robert Kennedy, Junior abruptly dismissed all of the members of the Center for Disease Control's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, or ACIP, and installed a new panel of vaccine skeptics.  The medical community responded with dismay, warning that the new appointees could upend decades of scientific consensus about vaccinations.  Those warnings were proven justified on December 5, when the reconstituted ACIP voted 8-3 to end the CDC's 30-year old recommendation that all infants receive the Hepatitis B vaccine.  Here in Wisconsin, the Department of Health Services has broken ranks with the CDC and continues to recommend the Hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours of birth.  Dr. Ryan Westergaard, Chief Medical Officer for the Wisconsin Department of Health Services joined Monday Buzz host Brian Standing to explain the decision.

Peter is a dancer with Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo.NBC10 Boston media maven Sue O'Connell talks Epstein files, Brian Walshe, and a NYTimes profile of the woman caught in that Coldplay kiss-cam last summer.

This week on Words With Wista, we are truly living in a Real Life Hunger Games timeline. Trump announces Patriot Games for one boy and one girl, floats a $1,776 warrior dividend, and slaps his name on the Kennedy Center while Epstein files, photos, and a very uncomfortable Vanity Fair article shake the internet. Meanwhile, Candace Owens drama resurfaces, the CDC ends routine Hepatitis B vaccines for newborns, sickle cell is cured for the first time in New York, and the state moves to legalize end of life care options for terminally ill patients. We also get into a disturbing ER incident involving HIV positive blood, Wiz Khalifa's Romania weed sentence, a tragic plane crash claiming former NASCAR champ Greg Biffle and his family, major shakeups at Hot 97 with Funkmaster Flex stepping in, Netflix pulling podcasts off YouTube, Ice Spice causing chaos at a SpongeBob premiere, and why 2026 might actually be the year of the cabbage. It is heavy, messy, hopeful, and unserious all at once just how we like it. IG: itswista IG/SubStack: wordswithwista

In pediatric practice, few topics are as foundational and scientifically grounded as vaccinations. This season, a major shift in federal vaccine advisory guidance has sparked fresh discussion about how we protect infants from hepatitis B. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention's advisory committee on immunization practices voted to revise the more than 30-year guidance around the universal birth-dose of the Hepatitis B vaccine. In this episode, our goal is to provide clarity for clinicians on the best vaccination approach for our youngest patients.  For this important discussion, we are joined by Sean O'Leary, MD, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Children's Colorado, as well as a professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine. He is also chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Committee on Infectious Diseases, otherwise known as the Red Book Committee.  Some highlights from this episode include: The history of hepatitis B infection in children in the U.S.  Why the birth dose has been such a critical part of prevention  Breaking down the recent decision by the CDC advisory committee  Recommendations for this vaccine moving forward For more information on Children's Colorado, visit: childrenscolorado.org. 

A U.S. federal vaccine advisory panel has voted to drop its long-standing recommendation for universal hepatitis B vaccination at birth. In Canada, most infants don't receive the vaccine until two months of age, with some exceptions. It can all be a bit confusing. So Dr. Lynora Saxinger, an infectious diseases specialist at the University of Alberta Hospital, explains what Canadians should know about when to get vaccinated for hepatitis B.

ICAN lead counsel Aaron Siri, esq., breaks down ACIP's historic decision to end the recommendation of universal Hepatitis B vaccination at birth for babies of healthy, Hep-B–negative mothers—moving it to age 2 months and “shared decision making.” He details major gaps in the safety data, evidence of harm buried in our federal injury programs, and an ethical crisis in the U.S. of pressuring parents to vaccinate their children under threat of CPS. Siri also contrasts U.S. policy with nations like mandate-free Denmark, which recommends far fewer vaccines while enjoying better health outcomes.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

There's a vaccine given to new-born bubs to protect them against Hepatitis B because if they are unvaccinated and happen to get Hep. B when they're young, it often leads to life-long health problems and in too many instances, liver cancer. Well with that in mind, there's been recent conversations about a potential link between this particular vaccine and Autism and under the guidance(?) of RFK, it seems that moving forward the advice for American parents will be to avoid the Hep. B vaccine. Not a mandate but nonetheless, a recommendation. As always with Gillespo (and Tiff), we also cover other stuff and had a particularly fun moment.

Send us a textSign up for free newsletter hereSummary: I walk you through the proposed shift away from universal newborn hepatitis B vaccination at birth, why it matters, what the evidence shows, and how parents can make a calm, informed choice—without reigniting every vaccine debate.Episode highlightsI explain why hepatitis B is uniquely risky for babies: if infected early, up to 90% develop lifelong infection with later risks of cirrhosis and liver cancer. I also clarify that exposures aren't only from mom at delivery—household contact and tiny blood exposures matter.We review what happened after the U.S. moved to a universal newborn dose in 1991: childhood hepatitis B plunged dramatically, with no new safety concerns emerging from hundreds of millions of doses.I outline the new proposal: keep the birth dose for babies of mothers who are positive or whose status is unknown; consider delaying to two months when mom tests negative—via shared decision-making with the pediatrician.I describe why many pediatric and public health experts still favor the birth dose: it protects against documentation errors and early exposures, and it avoids added “friction” that can reduce on-time vaccination.I address autism concerns with empathy and evidence: large studies and reviews have not found a link between vaccines—including hepatitis B—and autism.My take: I would keep the universal birth dose because it's safe, simple, and highly effective. But if parents delay, they should commit to the 2-month visit and rely on their clinician—not social media.Key takeawaysThe risk window is small but meaningful. Early-life infection can have lifelong consequences; the birth dose is a safety net.Process vs. evidence matters. Policy shifts should be driven by strong data, not ideology or committee turnover.If you delay, have a plan. Put the two-month appointment on the calendar now and follow through.Know your status. Make sure maternal hepatitis B testing is done and documented correctly.Resources mentioned (for deeper reading)Hepatitis B clinical overview and long-term risks (CDC): cdc.gov/hepatitis-b/hcp/clinical-overviewU.S. policy history and early childhood burden pre-1991: PubMed 11694691Impact of infant hepatitis B vaccination (MMWR): mmwrhtml/mm5125a3.htmCTA: If this episode helped, share it with an expecting parent or grandparent.

Kentucky continues to recommend Hepatitis B vaccines for infants, a new overdose alert system is launched, bird flu is detected in a backyard flock in Central Kentucky, and Sen. Rand Paul discusses hemp legislation and the U.S. government's role in Syria.

New recommendations from a CDC advisory committee to give the first dose of the Hepatitis B vaccine to infants no earlier than 2 months old is upending standard medical practices. Pediatricians here in Pennsylvania say this could undo decades of progress in preventing the disease in young kids. Many healthcare providers are now using generative AI tools to take notes during visits. Health systems say it is saving doctors a lot of time and allowing them to focus more on their patients. A former Lebanon doctor was sentenced to a minimum of 8 months in prison for sexually assaulting pediatric patients between 1999 and 2001. Ryan Crosswell, a former federal prosecutor, is running for one of Pennsylvania's seats in Congress. A judge in Philadelphia’s federal appeals court is facing an ethics complaint after attending the president’s rally in the Poconos last week.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 12-11-2025: Dr. Dawn presents colleague Dr. Paul Godin's essay on why US healthcare fails as a market system . She explains that healthcare violates every assumption of functional markets: patients can't compare options during emergencies, information asymmetry prevents informed decisions, demand is inelastic when one has an urgent medical issue, and trust is essential to medicine and in direct conflict with profit incentives. Since 1988's Knox-Keen Act allowed for-profit healthcare, private equity has acquired and stripped hospitals, while administrative costs consume enormous resources fighting over payments rather than providing care. She contrasts this with European models like Switzerland and Germany where everyone must participate, insurers must accept all patients, and profit on basic coverage is limited. She celebrates a vaccination success story: HPV vaccines have reduced cervical cancer by 50% over 30 years. The American Cancer Society now endorses self-collected vaginal samples for HPV screening, with an FDA-approved at-home kit from Teal Health allowing women to skip speculums and traditional Pap smears. Current guidelines recommend screening starting at age 25, with testing every five years after a negative result. Dr. Dawn issues a health alert about multiple hospitalizations in Santa Cruz County from foraged wild mushrooms identified incorrectly by phone apps. She describes cholinergic toxicity symptoms: sweating, excessive salivation, pinpoint pupils, and abdominal cramping—signs requiring immediate emergency care rather than waiting it out. She offers follow-up vaccine advice: "go in wet, then sweat." Hydrate before vaccination, then take a hot Epsom salt bath until sweat runs off your face. This helps eliminate adjuvants that cause post-vaccine fatigue and aches, which are often misinterpreted as catching illness from the vaccine itself. Dr. Dawn expresses alarm that Kennedy's reconstituted ACIP nearly voted to eliminate hepatitis B vaccination at birth. She notes infants exposed to infected mothers have 99% infection rates, with half becoming chronically infected and half of those developing terminal cirrhosis or cancer. Testing pregnant women misses infections acquired during pregnancy, and 12-16% of delivering women have no test records. Major insurers have committed to covering birth vaccination through 2026 despite the panel's actions. She offers holiday microbiome advice from researcher Karen Corbin: increase fiber intake through steel-cut oats, whole grain breads like Dave's Killer Bread, beans, apples, and alternative pastas made from lentils or garbanzo beans. Cooking potatoes ahead and reheating creates resistant starch that feeds beneficial gut bacteria, reduces inflammation, and even stimulates natural GLP-1 production. Dr. Dawn reviews research proving health insurance saves lives. When the ACA's Medicaid expansion became optional by state, researchers could compare outcomes, finding 8% lower mortality and 19,000 fewer deaths in expansion states over four years. An accidental IRS experiment—sending insurance enrollment letters to only 85% of penalty payers—showed significantly lower mortality among those who subsequently got insured. Studies of gunshot and auto accident victims found uninsured patients died more often despite receiving identical emergency treatment. She concludes with surprising cancer symptoms: chest pain specifically triggered by alcohol consumption may indicate Hodgkin's lymphoma, as vasodilation activates inflammatory chemicals in affected lymph nodes. Fractures from minimal trauma in people without osteoporosis warrant investigation, as 5% of cancers involve bone. Elevated calcium levels double cancer diagnosis risk in the following year and should prompt follow-up testing.

There have been quite a few developments recently on the vaccine front coming out of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s new vaccine advisory panel recommends delaying the first vaccine that's given to many children, the Hepatitis B vaccine that's administered pretty much as soon as they're born.President Donald Trump signed an executive memo, starting the process of aligning the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule with other developed nations.West Virginia is flip-flopping on the question of whether to allow religious exemptions for school vaccines.

Day one of this week's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) meeting revealed a stunning shift in the hepatitis B debate. For the first time, panel experts openly acknowledged they do not have the data to justify giving every newborn a hepatitis B shot on their first day of life. Hear how this new advisory group challenged inflated risk assumptions, admitted the evidence for newborn safety is surprisingly weak, and questioned why infants are expected to bear the burden for failures in adult screening and prevention. This pivotal exchange is reshaping the national conversation around vaccine policy—and the science that must support it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-highwire-with-del-bigtree--3620606/support.

On Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's vaccine advisory panel voted to end a recommendation that all newborns be immunized at birth against hepatitis B. That guidance had been in place for more than 30 years. Hepatitis B is a highly infectious virus that can cause severe liver damage, including cirrhosis and cancer.The members of this panel, known as ACIP, were handpicked by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Junior. That's after he abruptly fired all the previous 17 members of the panel earlier this year. That which led top officials at the CDC to resign in protest.His new members have publicly stated they want to revisit the entire childhood vaccine schedule. And after the panel's recent meeting, President Donald Trump expressed support for such a review.How will ending the recommended Hepatitis B shot for newborns affect public health?

In this episode, Pennsylvania Secretary of Health and ASTHO member Dr. Debra Bogen joins us to break down a major change in national vaccine guidance, and why it has sparked concern among pediatric and public health leaders. Dr. Bogen explains the recent ACIP vote that weakened the long-standing recommendation for all newborns to receive the hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours of birth, a practice that has nearly eliminated the disease in young children since the early 1990s.  She shares why this shift could create confusion for parents, what's at stake for infant health, and how Pennsylvania is doubling down on clarity, access, and science-based information, including through a recent executive order from Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro. Dr. Bogen also speaks to the broader moment facing public health, from rising misinformation to the importance of unified, evidence-driven messaging.Cultivating a Culture of Community and Belonging in the Workplace | ASTHO

In this episode, ASTHO member and Michigan Department of Health & Human Services Chief Medical Executive Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian breaks down a major development in national vaccine policy: the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices' decision to narrow its guidance on the hepatitis B birth dose. Dr. Bagdasarian, who serves as ASTHO's liaison to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, shares why the shift toward “individual decision-making” raises concerns for newborn safety, health equity, and public trust in vaccines.  She discusses the vulnerabilities in our health system that could leave some infants unprotected, how localized transmission risks extend beyond maternal infection, and why softening long-standing guidance may unintentionally fuel doubt about other vaccines. Dr. Bagdasarian also explains why Michigan—and many other states—are choosing to follow the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendation to continue the universal birth dose.Designing for Connection Webinar Series | ASTHOHome | Public Health Careers.org

Last Friday, Centers for Disease Control vaccine advisers changed the recommendation of a routine hepatitis B shot for all newborns, a change widely viewed as a victory for Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Now, health experts warn the change could undo decades of public health improvements, and parents are left with unclear guidance. USA TODAY Consumer Health Reporter Ken Alltucker joins USA TODAY's The Excerpt to look at how this decision will affect children and families across the country.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dr. Peter Michalos joins John Catsimatidis & James Flippin as they substitute for Sid Rosenberg, to talk about the rise in flu cases and the introduction of the K variant, which the current flu vaccine does not cover. He explains how cold weather impacts virus transmission, the importance of humidifiers, and the use of UVC air purifiers. Dr. Michalos highlights early detection and treatment options for flu, such as Tamiflu and a new one-time pill called flsa. He also touches on homeopathic remedies like vitamin C and zinc, and emphasizes frequent hand washing. The conversation shifts to the CDC's update on the Hepatitis B vaccine, addressing the demographics at risk and the benefits of spreading out vaccine schedules to potentially reduce neuroinflammation concerns. Dr. Michalos also shares insights on a new non-mRNA COVID vaccine, Novavax, and the increased health risks faced by smokers during flu season. Learn more about your ad choices.

Summary: The conversation delves into the recent changes in the childhood vaccine schedule, particularly focusing on Hepatitis B. It discusses the implications of these changes for parental rights, medical ethics, and the importance of informed decision-making in vaccination. The speakers emphasize the need for transparency and the right of parents to make choices based on individual circumstances rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. They also highlight the significance of the new recommendations and the potential for further scrutiny of the vaccine schedule. Takeaways: Hep B is not universally needed for all newborns. Only half a percent of newborns are at risk for Hep B. The childhood vaccine schedule is being reassessed. Medical ethics should guide vaccination decisions. The vaccine decision belongs to parents, not the state. Transparency in vaccination practices is crucial. The role of advocacy in health freedom is vital.

On Friday, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted 8–3 to eliminate a longstanding recommendation that all newborns receive a first dose of the hepatitis B vaccine. The committee instead recommended that women who test negative for hepatitis B should consult with their doctors to determine whether their babies should be given the first dose of the vaccine, suggesting that the initial dose be administered after the infant is at least two months old. The committee voted on the change after it heard presentations from several vaccine critics; no Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) subject-matter experts presented to the panel.

Major health organizations, including the CDC and ACOG, recommend universal Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) screening for all pregnant women during each pregnancy and at time of delivery. Ideally, pregnant women should be screened for hepatitis C virus infection at the first prenatal visit of each pregnancy. If the antibody screen result is positive, hepatitis C virus RNA polymerase chain reaction testing is done to confirm the diagnosis. The risk of perinatal transmission of HCV is up to 9%, with at least one-third of transmissions occurring antenatally. While antiviral therapy is recommended for Hepatitis B in pregnancy with a viral load greater than 200,000 international units/mL to decrease the risk of vertical transmission, the same is not the case for Hep C. According to the ACOG CPG #6 from September 2023, there are no standard treatment protocols for Hep C in pregnancy but a new publication from the PINK journal (7 Dec 2025) is calling for a change. That new publication is, “Hepatitis C Treatment During Pregnancy: Time for a Practice Change”. Listen in for details. 1. ACOG CPG #6; Sept 20262. Bhattacharya D, Aronsohn A, Price J, Lo Re V.

On this, our 303rd Evolutionary Lens livestream, we discuss the recommendation to stop vaccinating newborns against Hepatitis B, as just handed down by ACIP (Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices) for the CDC. Why were newborns whose mothers do not have Hep B, being vaccinated against a disease that is contracted through sexual activity and dirty needles? We discuss claims of “safe and effective,” risk stratification, the childhood vaccine schedule, and what “individual-based decision-making” will mean for parents and doctors. Then, new research: tattoo ink induces inflammation in lymph nodes, and changes the immune response to vaccination. Finally: an homage to Tom Stoppard, playwright extraordinaire, author of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, Arcadia, and so much more.

The CDC's vaccine policy is facing a dramatic shift under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. A key advisory panel voted to limit the decades-old universal HepB vaccine recommendation for newborns, switching to "shared clinical decision-making." Public health experts warn this move will create access barriers and lead to a surge in preventable infections and liver cancer. On top of this, the CDC website quietly changed its stance on the vaccine-autism link, contradicting years of debunked science.
