Vaccines Are A Great Invention

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. DEXTER. Mr. Speaker, vaccines are one of mankind's greatest inventions.

In the last 50 years, the World Health Organization's global vaccine efforts have saved 154 million lives. Every single person alive today owes something to that progress.

Yet, last week RFK, Jr. and his panel of antiscience, cherry-picked cronies recommended ending the decades-long practice of immediately vaccinating all newborns against Hepatitis B.

This will lead to more disease, cancer, and preventable deaths. It will increase healthcare costs.

I am calling on acting CDC Director O'Neill to reject this recommendation and protect our children.

I continue to call on RFK, Jr. to resign. His time at HHS has been an embarrassment and has caused deep harm to our country.

To lead our Nation's health system, you must rely on facts and data, not conspiracy and ego.

I will continue to stand with the Democratic Doctors Caucus fighting against RFK, Jr.'s rejection of science and data.
