Doctors Claim Newborns Undervaccinated for Hepatitis B -Imagine That!

Despite recommendations from at least three expert committees that all infants receive hepatitis B vaccine (preferably at birth), routine vaccination rates have fallen significantly.

This is most likely due to a July 1999 statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the US Public Health Service suggesting that immunizations be temporarily delayed until age 2 to 6 months.

This change was prompted by concerns about thimerosal--a mercury-containing preservative--found in the hepatitis B vaccine.

After the release of a thimerosal-free vaccine in September 1999, the experts advised healthcare providers and hospitals to restart their routine hepatitis B immunization programs.

DR. MERCOLA'S COMMENT:

How absolutely absurd and ridiculous. Yet some adult humans who superficially appear to have brains that work, will recommend that one-day old infants be given a vaccine that could only help them if their mother were infected with hepatitis B.

This vaccine is ABSOLUTELY contraindicated in every other infant. It makes absolutely no sense to give this vaccine to an infant who is not receiving blood or body fluid products or abusing IV drugs which are the only known risk factors.

This is a terrific example of how the vaccine/medical industrial complex has long ago abandoned any sense of rational thought with respect to this issue.

For more gripping testimony, please read Michael Belkin's articles below. Michael's daughter was killed shortly after a hepatitis B injection. He is a successful Wall Street Financial analyst with his own company, has testified to Congress on this issue (see below) and is an unofficial associate editor of this newsletter due to all the articles that he has contributed.
