Stop this. We asked you not to fulminate on HN barely more than a week ago. Phrases like this are completely unacceptable here:
How cheaply disingenuous of you
Tell us you know nothing about healthcare without using "health" or "care".
Did you forget that the totality of this discussion revolves around*
What, precisely, do you think happens
I used to seethe every time I heard some self-righteous twit
I now understand the urge to silence someone who is completely full of crap and is likely to cause harm to others
I can't imagine there would be many people on HN or indeed anywhere who don't want babies to have the best health at the start of their life. It doesn't make us “good” people to use that to justify being so hostile, indeed aggressive, to others in a discussion forum.
Please have a good read of the guidelines and make an effort to observe them if you want to keep participating here.
I am completely at a loss. We've administered these injections for something like 60 years. They've saved lives. I don't see why this is controversial.
> What, precisely, do you think happens when a doctor sticks a needle into a newborn? Magic?
A small amount of bleeding? That, if uncontrolled, can be quickly treated because it's administered in a hospital setting? I don't think bleeding from injection sites is the cause of VKDB fatalities!
> You know, during the whole Covid debacle I used to seethe every time I heard some self-righteous twit talk about "misinformation" and "disinformation", because they were selectively using those terms to silence and attack legitimate, independent scientists and medical professionals who were trying to advance the public's understanding and ultimately save lives.
Is this some attempt at praising the anti-COVID vaccine crowd? Because those people aren't the unjustly silenced "independent scientists and medical professionals," they're quacks who were wrong.
This was unfortunately a waste of time, because you don't seem to be interested in hearing about benefits of lifesaving medical interventions; instead, you just want to peddle conspiracies and invoke a fear of doctors. I am only glad that I made you so angry that you're hopefully done talking.
