Скачать или смотреть Cassidy Calls Acip Totally Discredited Ahead Of Vaccine Guidance Votes

Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) criticized the federal vaccine advisory committee (ACIP) ahead of a vote on changes to hepatitis B vaccine guidelines.

Cassidy, a former liver specialist, has long supported the use of the hepatitis B vaccine and opposes the proposed changes.

He criticized Aaron Siri, an anti-vaccine lawyer who is presenting before the ACIP, calling the committee "totally discredited."

Siri responded, saying he cannot sue vaccine makers due to a law protecting them, and accused Cassidy of only listening to vaccine companies.

Hepatitis B stakeholders are concerned the ACIP's recommended changes could lead to thousands of preventable infections and millions in added healthcare costs. #health #healthnews #medicine #medical #medicalnews #healthcare
