The Dispatch
A recent occurrence of death and suffering comes from the refusal by many parents to let doctors give their newborns a vitamin K shot.
Infants are naturally deficient in vitamin K, which helps prevent blood clots and internal bleeding, which can be horrific.
Vitamin K shots were once routinely given, but now many parents refuse them.
In 2024, an estimated 5.2% of American babies were not injected with vitamin K, up from 2.9% in 2017.
Really, RFK Jr. has done quite enough harm already putting Americans’ health at risk.
