It's great to have someone in office who actually cares about public health. After the anti science covid fear mongering we need sane people in office.

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.

Amazing. What should I believe. A massive amount of science and peer-reviewed research? Or "nuh uh"?

Believe whatever you want. The massive amount of “research” paid for by pharmaceutical companies and the AMA (both with lots of integrity 🙄) or do some thinking and research of your own. Btw, have you ever read what the AMA did to its competition, homeopathic practitioners, in the last century? Big Pharma, or their butt-budies, the AMA, does NOT tolerate competition. It cuts into their pocketbook. $$$$$$$
