Show Notes
Parents are increasingly skipping the vitamin K shot for newborns, a routine jab that prevents dangerous bleeding. A study shows refusals nearly doubled from 2017 to 2024. This trend is linked to broader doubts about medical care, fueled by social media myths and policy shifts. Doctors warn of serious risks, including brain bleeds, strokes, and even deaths. Despite fears of pain or chemicals, these shots save lives from clots, blindness, or liver issues. Pediatricians are pushing back with facts, hoping to flip more minds before more babies are harmed.
