Republican Senators Bill Cassidy and Rand Paul have clashed on social media over giving newborns the hepatitis B vaccine.
Paul, an ophthalmologist, wrote on X that there was "no medical reason" to give newborns the vaccine if the mother was not infected.
Cassidy, a physician, responded that Paul's claim was "not true" and that children who are infected at birth have a "much higher chance of developing liver cancer and spreading hepatitis B to others."
Both Cassidy and Paul are on the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, with Cassidy serving as the committee's chair.
When my son was born, I the hospital gave me a release to sign to take a blood sample and send it to Albany. I asked for a copy of the test results. Outright refusal. In fact, I was told the result were already sent to Albany, Called Albany and got nowhere on the phone.
