May 6May 6 Infants are bleeding to death because parents are refusing Vitamin K. https://www.propublica.org/article/more-parents-decline-vitamin-k-shot-newbornsIn almost every case, the babies’ deaths could have been prevented with a long-standard vitamin K shot. But across the country, families — first in smatterings, now in droves — are declining the single, inexpensive injection given at birth to newborns to help their blood clot.Although it is not a vaccine, the vitamin K shot has been swept up in the same post-pandemic tide that has led to a drop in key childhood vaccines, including for measles and whooping cough.The success of the shot has been so remarkable that it nearly eliminated vitamin K deficiency bleeding altogether. The science was settled decades ago.A cluster of cases 13 years ago was one of the first major signs that something was amiss. They learned that the parents had declined vitamin K shots for the babies, each of them between 6 and 15 weeks old. Once they realized that, the medical team moved quickly to treat them, injecting them with vitamin K and hoping it wasn’t too late. Much to the relief of doctors, they all survived. Only one infant had developmental delays. The parents explained that they had declined the shot for a number of reasons: a concern, based on long-debunked claims, that the shot could cause leukemia; a belief that the shot wasn’t necessary; and a desire to reduce their baby’s exposure to "toxins.” The CDC and the state health department opened an investigation and later published a report that found that when the parents declined the shot, their awareness about the risk of bleeding was "incomplete or absent.”
May 6May 6 This should be grounds for child services to step in and start taking away kids from these retarded "parents".
