Vaccination against hepatitis B is a common recommendation, but what exactly is it preventing?HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and his advisory group plan to meet this week to discuss and vote on various vaccine recommendations for hepatitis B, along with COVID-19 and measles, mumps and rubella.Hepatitis B is considered a serious viral infection that causes inflammation in the liver and is the most common liver infection in the world, according to the Cleveland Clinic.HEPATITIS A OUTBREAK INFECTS THOUSANDS OF TRAVELERS AT POPULAR DESTINATIONSAn estimated 254 million people worldwide are living with the infection, the World Health Organization has reported.The infection can be brief, known as acute hepatitis B, or it can be a long-term, chronic form, which can lead to complications like cirrhosis (scarring of the liver) and liver failure.Hepatitis B is triggered by exposure to bodily fluids infected with the virus, including amniotic fluid, blood, menstrual fluid, saliva and other secretions.Exposure can occur through unprotected sex, shared needles or syringes or contaminated medical instruments. It can also be passed from a pregnant woman to her newborn during childbirth, according to Mayo Clinic.HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS DISEASE SURGES IN SOME US STATES AMID REPORT OF POSSIBLE FATAL CASEAnyone can contract hepatitis B, but those who have a sexually transmitted infection, are taking an immunosuppressant (like chemotherapy), are receiving dialysis or have another type of liver disease have an increased risk.Although the viral infection doesn't cause symptoms for everyone, some of the most common signs include abdominal pain, fatigue, fever, joint pain, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting and weakness, Cleveland Clinic states.Other symptoms of liver disease can include dark-colored urine, light or clay-colored stool, yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes (also known as jaundice), and swelling from fluid in the belly, arms and legs.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERA person is contagious for as long as the virus is active in the body.Acute hepatitis B can last for up to six months. Theres a lower risk of contagion with inactive chronic hepatitis B, while active chronic hepatitis B is contagious indefinitely.Both acute and chronic hepatitis B can cause a variety of complications, including acute and chronic liver failure, cirrhosis, hepatitis D and liver cancer, experts caution.Hepatitis B can be diagnosed through blood tests, imaging tests like an elastography of the liver tissue or a liver biopsy. A blood test can reveal whether the virus is active or inactive, according to the Cleveland Clinic.There is no cure for hepatitis B, but certain medications, like antiviral drugs, can make the virus inactive. In chronic cases, these medications must be taken indefinitely.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthIf the infection leads to cancer, surgery may be a treatment option to remove part of the liver. A transplant may also be necessary if the entire liver must be removed.The best way to prevent a hepatitis B infection is through vaccination, according to medical experts.The CDC recommends hepatitis B vaccination for all infants, children younger than 19, adults aged 19 to 59 and those older than 60 with risk factors. Multiple hepatitis B vaccines exist, requiring varying doses.The Cleveland Clinic encourages those with hepatitis B to avoid alcohol, eat well, protect themselves from other liver infections and seek support as needed."If tests show you have hepatitis B, you may wonder how the disease will change your life. You may worry about spreading the virus to others," the organization wrote on its website."The good news is there are medications that keep chronic hepatitis B from spreading. And there are steps you can take to protect your overall health and protect others."

Senate Republicans rammed through dozens of President Donald Trumps nominees on Thursday in their first flex of the Senates new rules for confirmations.Lawmakers voted along party lines to confirm 48 of Trumps nominees, many being for undersecretary or assistant secretary positions in a variety of agencies throughout the federal government and ambassadorships.Senate Republicans went "nuclear" last week to make the change after a last-minute deal with Democrats fell apart.GOP TRIGGERS NUCLEAR OPTION IN SENATE TO BREAK DEM BLOCKADE OF TRUMP NOMINEESThe change ushered in by the "nuclear option" allows lawmakers to confirm an unlimited number of nominees in batches, also known as en bloc, with a simple majority vote in the upper chamber. However, the process is time-consuming, given that lawmakers must jump through procedural hoops and allow for 30 hours of debate."Why has not a single nominee been confirmed by voice vote or by unanimous consent? We know why," Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso, R-Wyo., said on the Senate floor. "Its Democrat obstruction.DEMS DIG IN AS GOP PREPARES TO GO NUCLEAR IN TRUMP NOMINEE RACE"The country has never seen anything like this," he continued. "Senate Democrats are freezing the Senate floor, freezing the federal government and freezing our nations progress. This harms Americas safety. It hamstrings the agenda that Americans voted for."Among this batch of nominees were Kimberly Guilfoyle, who Trump tapped to be the U.S. ambassador to Greece, and Callista Gingrich, who was picked to be the U.S. ambassador to Switzerland.TRUMP NOMINEES PILE UP AS GOP WEIGHS RULE SHIFT ONCE FLOATED BY DEMOCRATSRepublicans argued that the change would benefit both parties now and in the future and viewed the change as an option of last resort to break through Senate Democrats' blockade of Trumps picks.Typically, subcabinet-level nominees, particularly those with bipartisan support out of committee, are sped through the Senate either by unanimous consent or through a voice vote, two fast-track procedural moves in the upper chamber. All the nominees in this first round made it out of committee on a bipartisan basis.However, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and his caucus wouldnt allow either to be used and caused a backlog of nominees to lower level positions in the Trump administration to pile up. As of Thursday, the list had swollen to 173.The only one of Trumps nominees that easily moved through the chamber was Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who was confirmed in January on a near unanimous vote.

FIRST ON FOX: After an administrator at George Washington University outlined on social media why the assassination of Charlie Kirk was "fair," the university confirmed he is no longer employed."This past Saturday, the university requested that, pending further review, the staff member leave campus due to the impact his social media post had on his ability to do his particular job," a George Washington University spokesperson told Fox News Digital in a statement. "The staff member is no longer employed by the university."The employee in question, Anthony Pohorilak, the former assistant director of academic initiatives at George Washington Universitys Mount Vernon Campus, posted on Facebook, "If nothing else, it is fair, in a nation where children get massacred by gun violence on the regular, the people who advocate for continued gun ownership at the expense of those children are not immune from the consequences of their advocacy."No thoughts, no prayers," Pohorilak added in his post, first reported by Fox News Digital, that went up shortly after Kirk was murdered while speaking to college students in Utah.TENNIS LEGEND MARTINA NAVRATILOVA REACTS TO JIMMY KIMMEL BEING PULLED OFF AIR AFTER CHARLIE KIRK COMMENTSGeorge Washington University said in a statement to Fox News Digital at the time that the school is "one of the most politically engaged campus communities in the country" and believes "everyone is entitled to their beliefs, and no one should ever be subject to violence for expressing their views."This individual employee is not authorized to speak on behalf of GW, and his opinions do not reflect those of the university."In the next several days, conservatives on social media launched a campaign to expose individuals who attempted to justify the political assassination, which resulted in dozens of firings.On Saturday morning, the university sent an email to students that was obtained by Fox News Digital, saying that "enhanced safety measures" were implemented on campus, adding, "in response to media coverage of a staff members social media post, some members of our community have received threatening communications from non-GW individuals."HILLARY CLINTON SPARKS SOCIAL MEDIA FIRESTORM FOR PROMOTING BOOK WARNING ABOUT 'FASCISTS': 'SICK PEOPLE'Outrage over the administrator's post and the school's response spread across social media, and the university's Young Americans for Freedom chapter put out a statement condemning the post."GW YAF draws a distinction and condemns the statement of a recent administrator," the conservative student group posted on Instagram. "In the shadow of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, we realize the danger of political violence and the need for helpful dialogue."This administrator took advantage of this time of despair and anxiety to propose that Mr. Kirk, through his rigorous defense of the Second Amendment, was in some way responsible for his own death and other tragedies," it continued."This argument is not made in good faith. Furthermore, the grave reality which must be recognized is that America suffers from deadly polarization polarization that recent comments have exacerbated. We must commit ourselves against political violence and not celebrate, defend, or be selectively ambivalent towards it, as we have unfortunately seen on campus recently."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe group added that while it supports free speech, "we also realize the necessity for political dialogue which is truly productive."But as conservatives on a college campus, we understand students fears for the future of safe, free speech. This administrator was callous toward these concerns. To win political points when students fear for our political process is irresponsible."

Hunter Biden was involved in discussions about pardons toward the end of his father's White House term, a source familiar with Jeff Zients' interview with the House Oversight Committee told Fox News Digital on Thursday.Zients met with House investigators behind closed doors for over six hours the final former Biden administration official to appear in House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer's probe into ex-President Joe Biden's use of the autopen.Comer, R-Ky., is also investigating whether Biden's top aides covered up signs of mental decline in the former president, and whether executive decisions signed via autopen including myriad clemency orders Biden approved were executed with his full awareness.Zients told investigators that Hunter was involved in some of those pardon discussions and attended a few meetings on the subject with White House aides, the source said.BIDENS AUTO-PEN PARDONS DISTURBED DOJ BRASS, DOCS SHOW, RAISING QUESTIONS WHETHER THEY ARE LEGALLY BINDINGIt's not clear how much say Hunter had in those meetings, or if he was involved in discussions about his own controversial pardon.The former president issued a "full and unconditional" pardon for his son in early December, just under two months before leaving office.That's despite Biden and his staff denying the possibility of such a move on several occasions.Biden approved nearly 2,500 commutations on Jan. 17, just days before leaving the White House, setting a record for most clemency orders ever granted by a U.S. president more than 4,200 in total and the most ever in a single day.Weeks earlier, he issued pardons for several family members, including Hunter.'SHOULD BE PROSECUTED': HOUSE REPUBLICANS ZERO IN ON BIDEN AUTOPEN PARDONS AFTER BOMBSHELL REPORTIt had been previously reported by NBC News and other outlets that Hunter sat in on White House meetings with Biden's aides in the wake of the former president's disastrous June 2024 debate against then-candidate Donald Trump.Zients is the final former Biden aide expected to appear before the House Oversight Committee in its autopen probe.The source familiar with his sit-down told Fox News Digital that Zients "admitted that President Bidens speech stumbles increased as he aged.""He also noted that the presidents difficulty remembering dates and names worsened over time, including during the administration," the source said.A second source familiar with Zients' comments to the House Oversight Committee defended his comments."As chief of staff, Jeffs job was to ensure that the president met with a range of advisors tothoroughly consider issues so that the president could make the best decisions," the second source told Fox News Digital."Throughout Jeffs time working with him, while President Biden valued input from a widevariety of advisors and experts, the final decisions were made by the president and thepresident alone," the second source said."Jeff had full confidence in President Bidens ability to serve as president and is proud ofwhat President Biden accomplished during his four years in office."Fox News Digital reached out to Zients' attorney and the law firm of Abbe Lowell, who was known to have defended Hunter previously, for comment but did not immediately hear back.
