I'm a gastroenterologist and it is insane! Risk factors for hepatitis B include unprotected sex and IV drug abuse. The Aluminum adjuvant is also probably not safe and the long term safety relatively small studies to approve this vaccine in children was only 4 and 5 days
The reasoning is to protect the babies of mothers who have unprotected sex or IV drug use, because hep B can be transmitted during delivery and breastfeeding, but the vaccine, even if given a day later, protects the baby. US public health is often lowest common denominator stuff to protect the worst off children with irresponsible parents.
But if no one in my household has Hepatitis B, including my wife, and none of us are drug users, why would I give this vaccine to my baby? Shouldn’t these factor into my decision? The decision that all children should get this vaccine doesn’t make sense. It should be a choice based on known risk factors.
When my son was born and I declined vaccines the neonatal nurse admitted to me that newborns do NOT need vaccinations.
She said the hospital made every effort to impose them because new mothers were a “captive audience” and they might not have another opportunity to vaccinate the babies if they weren't brought in for “well child” visits.
Same! I'm a labor and delivery nurse who HATES having to give the hep B vaccine to babies within an hour of birth. It just feels so dishonest and wrong. Nobody can seem to give any rationale behind this practice yet nobody questions it. It's infuriating to me. OPEN YOUR EYES PROPLE!!!
If the man is such a fan of European policy based on the same data, maybe he should look into the European vaccination program as well. Of the list above I can only recall having been offered DTaP, Polio, MMR, HPV (and possibly pneumococcus, but I am not entirely sure). Hep B seems so weird. Don't know anyone who got that as a child.
> Stop lumping all vaccines together. Instead, emphasize what is critical, and acknowledge where there is uncertainty.
I think that ship has sailed. The medical industry has already completely blown any shred of credibility it had left, and so some kind of vague half-hearted realization that doctors may have "misjudged the cost/benefit" of one particular product does not even come close to what is needed for them to regain that trust. It's pretty much at the point where (paraphrasing Bret Weinstein) if the medical industry says to do something, my reaction is to do the exact inverse.
I appreciate your open-mindedness. At the same time, I did a face-plant when I read that you still believe the exhaustively-disproven notion that weight gain is calories in vs calories burned. Oy vey. And I'd love to hear your rationale for why newborns should be injected with the hep B vaccine.
"The study suggests a correlation—not necessarily causal tie—between the pace of weight regain and epigenetic markers for those with a history of obesity. These molecular differences remained even after stomach reduction and gastric bypass surgery, with no known mechanism to reverse them. Researchers suggest their findings may emphasize the value of prevention. Read the full study here."
> notion that weight gain is calories in vs calories burned
Yes, but if consume 3 times more calories than you burn, there is no escape from the obvious consequences, even if conversion rate is significantly below 100%.
Everybody (including doctors) keeps saying that it makes no sense to give the Hep B vaccine to a newborn (with Hep B negative mother) on day one. Yet the CDC refuses to change their recommendations.
This single fact alone is enough for me to never trust the CDC's recommendation on any childhood vaccine. (There are other reasons too).
Yes! The CDC website on why HBV is needed for children is a classic example of *malformation* , that is all technically possible, but not at all likely (with hep b neg mother).
Its nothing but fear fear fear!!
“A stranger with Hep B may spit chewed up food in your babies mouth and give it Hep B!!!”
"The obesity problem in the United States is related to excessive caloric intake relative to expenditure. There is no getting around this basic law of thermodynamics. We can have whatever debates we want to have about why people are taking in more calories than they are able to burn off (and whether certain ingredients in foods are addictive). But the point is that RFK, Jr's desire to help Americans become less obese is, I believe, sincere."
Sorry but this is ancient thinking in the self-health world. Calorie in, calorie out is debunked by a simple thought experiment. Who will survive longer eating 2000 calories per day...someone eating 2000 calories of soda, donuts, and candy, or someone eating 2000 calories of grass fed beef, and organic vegetables and starches? Add the fact that most Americans are eating food sprayed with a cocktail of toxic herbicides and pesticides, or food that was created in a lab for "mouth feel" and addiction, and you have your answer. Other Western cultures are not bombarded with these unhealthy food choices, and have banned many of the ingredients our FDA has generously allowed into our food supply?
And RFK Jr. advocating eating fruit loops is laughable. He was asking the question: why are Americans having to consume ingredients in their food that other countries won't allow? Does he look like he is on a high sugar diet?
And why would any sane person believe ANYTHING that the CDC says??? "Here is CDC’s own wording on the subject:" - I don't even have to read the rest to know they've been bought and paid for by big pharma.
I cannot believe how few people in the medical field actually understand the basics of metabolism and the effects of the sugar load in our food supply.
Maybe because he's an infectious disease doctor and not a doctor who specializes in metabolic health? Perhaps infectious disease doctors should know more about nutrition and metabolic health, and the work of people like Kevin Hall, since our poor health in this area makes us more vulnerable to severe infection. But medical school nowadays is very fragmented into different specialties with no meaningful communication between them. Can RFK Jr. fix that?!
Thank you! Plus how in the world is giving babies/children 72 vaccines over their lifetime (many as infants) good for that child?! Follow the money I’ve learned the hard way.
It’s one thing to say historical childhood diseases will return without vaccination (they possibly will), but to call them deadly doesn’t reflect the reality that the mortality rates from disease essentially disappeared before the introduction of the vaccines. Even Scarlet Fever which never had a vaccine created for it followed the same downward trend. With the misinformation public heath perpetrated through Covid that actually matched the same pattern of all vaccines, it’s difficult to trust the vaccine interests now. The scale of Covid exposed the game plan that has been in existence from long ago.
EXACTLY! Majority of those diseases had bottomed out, and the vaccines got credit for making it go away. Have you read the book, Turtles all the way down? Its got endless info, stats, and data. Moth in the Iron lung, is also a great book on polio.
Yes, and Dissolving Illusions is excellent especially from a historical perspective. It provides an incredible library of history that public health would rather disappear.
Sorry, no. Children do NOT need a HBV or HPV shot.
Not even a little bit.
Parents need the right to refuse
Not threats by their pediatricians who are heavily incentivized to threaten the mothers and bully them into accepting these products.
No more immunity for these Big pHarma companies!
Any declared “health emergency” with a drug product solution, especially a mandatory product, or one the public is expected to pay for, then that product needs to be eminent domained.
We need random placebo trials of all products with an adjuvant. Adjuvants can NOT be the placebo arm.
Respectfully, you should talk to doctors who've had parents come to them and report how their child became suddenly sick or neurologically altered within two weeks of vaccination. Recommending 72 injections in childhood is absurd and borders on abuse. You should do some more research on the subject instead of parroting the same AMA shit on the subject.
Recommending 72 injections in childhood does not "border on abuse." It is abuse.
The reason they get away with this abuse is because children cannot speak for themselves. The reason they could not get away with the adverse effects of Covid vaccination is because the victims were adults who could speak for themselves.
I agree. Also, how is it that doctors aren't at the forefront of a widespread movement to censure the pharmaceutical/political nexus and demand the repeal of the 1986 act that absolved vaccine makers from any liability? How does that simple fact not raise one's suspicions as to the link between these medicines and the rise in chronic childhood diseases? Anyone who says there is no link, not even a correlation, between vaccines and chronic/autoimmune/neurological illnesses is being obtuse and is very gullible.
There is more than a correlation. It is causation, pure and simple.
For example, food allergies like egg, cowmilk, and peanut allergies are caused by vaccines. You can prevent them by introducing those foods at 3-4 months of age while delaying all vaccination until 6 months of age.
The underlying principle is that if you ingest a new food protein first, you get tolerance, but if you inject it first, you get allergy. I have actually observed this pattern in my children (and a few others).
There are other diseases like autism but it is more complicated because autism is multifactorial and a vaccine is sometimes simply the last straw.
Well, you could argue that billions of adults could NOT get away it re: the COVID mRNA injection because of the enforced mandates and pressures and total lack of informed consent.
Yes, most adults did not (or could not) avoid the mRNA vaccine itself. But when they did get a serious adverse reaction, most of them did speak up (unlike children who don't). And that is why only 20% of Americans now take the Covid boosters.
Unfortunately they did get away with it in regard to the mRNA covid vaccines to the tune of billions upon billions of dollars. And the reason they get way with it for childhood vaccines is that most parents don't know and are therefore easily susceptible to mild bullying. Indeed, even smart and medically qualified adults are susceptible to mild bullying when it comes to adult vaccines.
"Boys vaccinated as neonates had threefold greater odds for autism diagnosis compared to boys never vaccinated or vaccinated after the first month of life."
I truly hope SOMEBODY will stop pharma ads. Mainstream media needs to die, and these ads keep that propaganda afloat. RFK could be that person, but pharma will put up a helluva fight.
I don't watch much television---just a few sports I like to follow. But the ads are hard to take and it seems like 1/3 to 1/2 are pharma ads and another 1/3 or so are promo for their own programs. So you are correct in asserting that pharma is keeping mainstream media afloat.
The people in the comments read the assignment! The US spends the most on healthcare and has the poorest outcomes. Why is that? I really appreciate Dr. Prasaad’s voice, and all of the doctors on this platform speaking out. However, these doctors have been trained by a system that emphatically has been taught that vaccines are infinitely important and treatments via pill are generally good while not looking much at diet and exercise and sunlight and minerals, etc.. It would be nice if doctors started actually questioning some of their education and looking into the “claims” and history behind vaccines. We may not all be crack pots for questioning.
The table showing recommended vaccinations in Europe and how they differ widely is highly informative.
I have an issue with the following: "The obesity problem in the United States is related to excessive caloric intake relative to expenditure. There is no getting around this basic law of thermodynamics." Calories in and out is only part of the truth and the other part does not involve violating the laws of thermodynamics. Read "Good Calories, Bad Calories" by Gary Taube for (lots of) details.
In my opinion, the public health people continue to push their nonsense about pandemics in order to divert attention from their irrelevance in the modern world. Improved standards of living and antibiotics virtually eliminated infectious disease as a health scourge. Anthony Fauci and others of his ilk hit upon the idea of an infectious viral epidemic as the cause of the AIDS epidemic as a way to not only preserve but also to expand their funding and their influence. The same general pattern was used for the mythical "covid" and brought them wealth and fame beyond their fondest dreams. The whole concept of vaccination is biologically problematic and never shown much legitimate success.
First you prove that Natural Immunity is superior to any of the fucking crap people put inside themselves.
That establishes that there’s no need for Vaccines.
With no need for vaccines, you have, ipso facto, demonstrated that there’s no need for gain of function research.
I will leave it to you to understand the logic of that.
Finally, you demonstrate that gain of function research to date has failed to produce an airborne pathogen, capable of poisoning an entire human population.
I intend to prove these points and more.
Beyond that, Natural Immunity is a misnomer. It’s actually Natural Resolve.
The flu symptoms people are so mesmerized by are actually the toxins coming out of their body. Not a response to toxins coming in.
It’s all Sepsis.
The one thing all organs of the body share is that blood circulates through them.
Proteins and Toxins that are not properly evacuated from someone’s body pass to the blood. Or if you’re a complete fucking moron, you inject those very same toxins into your blood.
The vaccines are essentially Turbo Sepsis.
I intend to prove these points and more.
This is so simple, that I can do it while I’m changing the oil in my car.
As can most of my friends that were too cool to go to medical school.
Why do you recommend Hep B vaccine for newborn infants? That one seems insane to me. Also not a fan of gardasil...(retired Canadian nurse...)

Right. It is not at all unreasonable to decline the vaccine.
The Hep B is absolutely nuts-why would babies need it as soon as they are born?
When my son was born and I declined vaccines the neonatal nurse admitted to me that newborns do NOT need vaccinations.
She said the hospital made every effort to impose them because new mothers were a “captive audience” and they might not have another opportunity to vaccinate the babies if they weren't brought in for “well child” visits.
I would like to know the author's thoughts on this, too!
Same! I'm a labor and delivery nurse who HATES having to give the hep B vaccine to babies within an hour of birth. It just feels so dishonest and wrong. Nobody can seem to give any rationale behind this practice yet nobody questions it. It's infuriating to me. OPEN YOUR EYES PROPLE!!!

I wish that Vinay had given us the answer to this question from his colleague! I would also like to know.
The sole idea that this Dr cant even say his name to have an opion on tjhis topic is sad, pathetic and tells a lot about censorship....
Feels like we are back in the USSR. The history has made another circle...

Indeed, there is a lot more to it than calories in and calories out since not all calories are created equal. Simple sugars are just bad news.
