A lifesaving injection given at birth to prevent severe bleeding has become collateral damage of the anti-vaccine movement.
talk to your coworkers about this. remember that the "taking advice from everyone except the experts" thing cuts both ways. you can be the non-expert guy at work who isnt an expert and gives someone advice they decide to follow based on vibes, but your advice can be the right advice instead. this is something we can all do.
the vitamin k shot has zero side effects, it is literally just a vitamin that does nothing except prevent babies from bleeding to death internally. its one of those things that does absolutely nothing except what it's supposed to do, is cheap, and has drastically reduced infant mortality this century and the last
Pro Publica followed up on this by contacting Joseph Mercola, one of the major shithead snake oil guys who previously told people to avoid the vitamin K shot, and this situation has gotten so bad that Mercola actually released a statement walking back his previous anti-vitamin K position and telling his followers to please get the shot. which is great, maybe hes growing as a person, and it will save lives, but jesus christ things have to have gotten dire for MERCOLA to be changing course on this
