Dr. Marty Makary says he doesn’t recommend giving newborns the Hep B vaccine. Martha MacCallum: “If a woman was having a baby today… and the doctor is about to give her the Hep B vaccine. What would you advise that mother.” Dr. Makary: “I personally don’t believe that the evidence is solid to say the Hep B shot needs to be given at birth.” “It’s a sexually transmitted infection you’re trying to prevent. Kids are not sexually active until they’re of sexual age.” “If the mom’s Hep B positive, that’s different.” “We believe in vaccines.” “But does that mean people need the anthrax vaccine? Of course not, it was a disaster and taken off the market.” “One of the rotaviruses was a disaster and taken off the market.” “We’ve got tried and true vaccines and we’ve got vaccines like the Covid booster in young healthy people that we can ask questions about.” Subscribe @NewResistance Source: Xoaquin FIores - New Resistance
