“Why is the CDC advocating new born babies be immunized to protect them against a sexually transmitted disease?”
Diseases that are sexually transmitted are also commonly transmitted to newborns as they are in the birth canal, so perhaps that is why?
I was thinking the same thing, that the STD may be transmitted by the mother through the birth canal. However, the mother can be tested for everything under the sun during prenatal care, so I reject the “one size fits all” approach. Every newborn has drops put in the eyes to prevent syphilis. Makes no sense any more to do that routinely when the mom can be tested.
The hospitals have all the blood work of the mothers and know/should know which babies are at risk and which are not. Blanket Hep B vaccinations for all new borns in order to get the small # of children for whom it is indicated is madness. It is exactly like treating all americans as potential terrorists in order to stop islamic terrorists. When the vaccine “recommendations” are that stupid, you are insane not to question it.
So if they’ve just picked up active Hepatitis in the birth canal, the best thing for them is to inject with a bunch of the same, albeit deactivated, virus?
