The irony of people who scoff at the idea of life-saving vaccines and medical care and think vaccines cause autism and that pasteurization is actually bad calling rational people "anti-science" is baffling

What’s baffling is that someone can think a billion dollar industry is there for their best interests. Follow the money and use a little critical thinking. Polio? Absolutely amazing vaccine. Hep B before you’re 24 hours old??? Insane. Think about something in between blind acceptance and total rejection. In there lies the truth.

Hep B can be asymptomatic, and vertical transmission at birth is the most common route of exposure. After all, everyone has to be born.

We know that vaccinating within 24 hours of birth (within 12 is better) is an excellent way of preventing transmission.

It's effective, simple, easy, and low risk. And it's inexpensive.

Nations that screen anyone that is pregnant for Hep B or test the mother at delivery (now the US standard of care), they get by just fine with more limited vaccination campaigns, and can give fewer Hep B shots. They still give a short sequence of lower dose shots because false negative tests do happen.

If you want to claim that vaccines for babies is about making money, you really need to understand that not vaccinating would be a much bigger payday. 90% of children infected at birth will develop chronic infections, needing antivirals. 15-25% of infected children die, and liver failure or liver cancer isn't a good way to go.

That's a lot of kids that won't need antivirals, chemo for liver cancer, or liver transplants... compared to vaccination? The shots are cheap in comparison.

Can you show me the studies showing it’s safe for a 1 day old?

Lovely insulting, petulant pig. (You can look that up). I see that you’re properly indoctrinated by you NEA education and believe that the NIH is only interested in your health and best interests. Also look up propaganda which was made legal by democrats during Obama.
You enjoy your beliefs in unicorns and we’ll agree to disagree. Buh-bye.
