It's Tuesday, December 9th.
I'm Jane Costa, and this is What A Day, the show that will make you a promise.
This show will never make an AI version of a founding father,
just to spout things we would say anyway.
Take notes, Glenn Beck.
On today's show, the streaming wars go nuclear.
Paramount launches a massive hostile takeover bid to pry Warner Brothers' discovery from Ted Sarandos at Netflix.
And President Donald Trump saves American farmers from tariffs by using...
tariffs?
But let's start with vaccines.
On Friday,
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices voted to change a recommendation for children that's almost older than I am,
a move that could have a major impact on the health of Americans.
And in an 8-3 vote,
the HCIP voted to end the universal recommendation that all newborns be immunized against hepatitis B.
As we mentioned on the show yesterday, the ACIP,
which has been newly stacked with people holding anti-vaccine beliefs,
instead recommended that women who test negative for hepatitis B discuss quote,
when or if their child should be vaccinated at birth.
The recommendation still needs to be approved by the acting director of the CDC, Jim O'Neill.
