A liver performs over 500 vital functions every single day to keep us alive, that’s why testing, treating and preventing viral #hepatitis is so important. On #WorldHepatitisDay, we call on all governments to prioritize testing, treatment and vaccination to realize a hepatitis-free world by 2030.

Very suspicious. Another way to push vaccines in an effort to change the DNA of the world to reptilian DNA. Nice try.

As a REAL PRACTICING Doctor I wouldn’t trust 1 word that you say, not even the 1st syllable. Silence

Had to sneak vaccination in there huh

Nah, no way we're getting rid of hepatitis by 2030. Let's be real.

Viral #hepatitis is one of the most devastating diseases, causing liver failure, cancer and death if left untreated. The Hepatitis Fund has enabled World Health Organization (WHO) to work on scaling up national plans for four countries. With further investment, we can replicate this success in more countries.

This World Hepatitis Day, let's confront Hepatitis. In Uganda, around 4% of adults live with chronic Hepatitis B. A challenging reality often compounded by stigma and cost. Dr. Frank Busingye from AAR Healthcare explains: Hepatitis is liver inflammation, potentially leading to cancer or failure if untreated. The powerful truth? It's often preventable, and early detection means it's treatable! Getting tested is simple, and support is available. Let's speak up, get informed, and make care accessible. Don't wait, get tested, get treated and live free!

The Hepatitis B vaccine is mandated for children to attend public school in virtually every state. Hepatitis B is transmitted through needles or sexual contact, so why is this vaccine pushed on babies their first day of life? Doctors don’t have a valid answer. If you ask them why your child needs the Hep B shot on the first day of life, they give you the lame excuse that there could be a hepatitis B-infected needle on the playground. Mothers are tested for Hep B beforehand, so the disease poses no risk to the baby, as long as the mother is negative. However, the US still recommends that every child be injected on the first day of life. Make it make sense. Many questions about the safety of the hepatitis B vaccine have been raised by figures such as Robert Kennedy Jr., Dr. Sherri Tenpenny, Dr. Casey Means, and countless concerned parents. But one CDC contractor, Dr. Cynthia Nevison, walked into the ACIP meeting and raised another critical question: has universal Hepatitis B vaccination, after 34 long years, even lowered Hepatitis B cases on a population level? Dr. Nevison’s answer to that question might surprise you. 🧵

If you, as a mother, don't have hepatitis B, then why does your baby, on the day of their birth, need the hepatitis B vaccine? There is no logical reason to give a newborn baby the hepatitis B vaccine on the day of their birth if the mother tests negative.

Hepatitis B is a tiny virus with just 4 genes. But it kills hundreds of thousands globally per year, mostly by infecting babies and causing liver disease or cancer over the following decades. In a new episode of HARD DRUGS, we tell the story of the hepatitis B vaccine, which became the first of many milestones: It was the first viral protein subunit vaccine, the first recombinant vaccine, and the first vaccine to prevent a type of cancer. Key stats: • Hepatitis B virus has just 4 genes, some of which overlap, making it one of the most genetically compact human pathogens • It has a very unusual life cycle for a DNA virus: it forms a stable mini-chromosome (cccDNA) inside liver cell nuclei, and uses reverse transcription, similar to HIV. • It integrates itself into your liver cells' DNA, causes repeated cycles of cell damage and repair, and inflammation that eventually leads to cancer. • During infection, the virus produces ~500 quadrillion (5 x 10¹⁷) copies of its surface antigen in the bloodstream. They act as decoys, soaking up our antibodies and helping the virus evade immunity, and it sticks around in our cells for decades. Over time, it causes one of the most common and deadliest liver diseases and cancers: ~300 million people worldwide are living with chronic hepatitis B ~600,000 people die from hepatitis B each year, mostly from cirrhosis and liver cancer While only ~5–10% of adults infected develop chronic infection, ~90% of infants infected at birth do. Around a third of those infants will eventually die from liver failure, cirrhosis, or liver cancer. But there's a vaccine against it: the hepatitis B vaccine. It is so efficient that it helps us block the virus by training us to recognize just one protein (the surface antigen) quickly, before it can overwhelm us. The first hepatitis B vaccine (1981) was made from human plasma, through multiple brutal inactivation steps that kill other microbes and contaminants. The second hepatitis B vaccine (1986) was the first recombinant DNA vaccine ever, made by factories of yeast cells churning out the antigen in bulk. The payoff has been enormous. Large cluster randomized trials have shown that hepatitis B vaccination reduces liver cancer rates by 85% and deaths by 70%. Universal vaccination of newborns has led to massive drops in hepatitis cases, liver failure, and liver cancer in younger generations. As the first viral protein subunit vaccine, it was built upon a series of breakthroughs in immunology, advances in virology and vaccinology. In this episode, we trace the discovery of hepatitis, hepatitis B virus, the development of vaccines, and their impact. And we explore how we even got to subunit vaccines at all: the great battle of immunology, the discovery of antibodies and their incredible diversity, and how that understanding could be used to test, study, and build better vaccines. If you want to understand how modern vaccines actually came to be, or why hepatitis B vaccination still matters today, this one’s for you.

Trump: Hepatitis B is sexually transmitted. There's no reason to give a baby that's almost just born Hepatitis B. So I would say wait until the baby is 12 years old and formed and take Hepatitis B.

17. Ok now it’s time to the adults to talk again. Best (and most heartbreaking) for last. Senator Marshall shined above the rest today. He is an OB who has delivered over 5,000 babies. Yet, he even has hesitation about giving every baby the hep b vaccine… “The hepatitis b vaccine makes no sense to me. I’ve only delivered 5000 babies but we do a hepatitis test on every mom.” Kennedy: “There are two hepatitis vaccines. One of them had a safety study that lasted for FOUR days- on 143 kids for a product that’s going to be given to 76 million kids.” “The risk of a baby dying from hepatitis b was 1 in SEVEN MILLION.”

In fact, if you ask them why your child needs the Hep B shot on the first day of life, they give you the lame excuse that there could be a hepatitis B-infected needle on the playground. The thing is, there are ZERO documented cases of a child contracting Hepatitis B from an infected needle found on a playground. Mothers are tested for Hep B beforehand, so the disease poses no risk to the baby. Yet, we are injecting them to prevent Hep B on the first day of life? What doctors also don't tell you is that the Hepatitis B vaccine wears off by the time children become teenagers. So, there's literally no point in injecting a newborn baby with a Hepatitis B shot. Watch Calley Means and Casey Means, MD explain this in detail. This is a must-see conversation.
