Yesterday, I went in for my first ultrasound, being a new mom and all, I am excited af to bring another future patriot in this world.
I read the article that Dr. Kim wrote about the Vitamin K shot that actually does more harm than good for newborns. I cross checked it across multiple other sources with some pro vax and some anti vax. I did extensive research.
So guess what I found in the OB What to Expect packet? The very last bullet point listed is that vitamin K shot. Predictable lol.
That paragraph consisted of fear porn about cranial bleeding in newborns, and helps with blood clots, mothers can't supply their kids with enough Vitamin K, etc etc. Basically saying that if you don't give your kid this shot within 6 hours, they could die. You know how often that actually happens? 1.8 out of 100,000 newborns or .0018% (correct me if my math sucks here) of children. In the time span of 6 hours after birth, how do I know that I will even be lucid enough from the anesthesia to even comprehend what is going on with my child? How manipulative is the medical industry that they would do something so underhanded like jabbing my baby without my knowledge? I dont know anybody in any generation before me (mid 20s) that has ever had this shot. Cavemen didn't need this, so why does my kid? I didn't get it either!
So I played dumb (really should have recorded this), and asked the doctor about it and played it off like a sheltered and compliant new mom. She explained that fear porn, regurgitated it honestly. And had the nerve to tell me that anything not in the info packet is misinformation, and other parents get their anti vax research from "misinformation from Tik Tok."
How arrogant are these pharma fed docs that they shove down people's throats that they should be the only source of medical information? Have these motherfuckers not had the wake up call, that people are waking up to the massive malpractice that is the entirety of the health-"care" industry? I know a lot more people unwilling to trust their doctor's advice at face value because bullshit can come from anywhere. Basically tldr, if you question your doctor, you're being influenced by "misinformation." These people are stupid.
I don't personally care for Tik Tok, but i know there is some good info out there.
Also, I might switch hospitals if this bullshit keeps up. Advice would be nice, because i felt very disrespected for wanting to be actually informed of what goes into my precious child's body.
I will thanks
