Tests yield false negatives. Women can contract it late in pregnancy too. I agree that it’s making a big deal out of what was likely a small number but hospitals are the ones held liable for something going wrong with a baby, or the doctors, so keep that in mind. It takes one person who sees a malpractice lawsuit to the doctor as a solution to their lost kid. The hospitals and Doctors don’t want the malpractice issues, so they go to great lengths with their precautions.
You said, “I agree that it’s making a big deal out of what was likely a small number” but we should just go ahead with protecting the babies of the small number of risks/exposed by injecting the millions of newborns with chemicals and toxins?? This makes no sense.

Your wrong hospital forced my monogamous wife into a battery of STD tests costing $900.00.
The entire amount was refunded except for the state mandated HIV test when we both complained.
Most hospitals are test, vaccinate and charge first ask questions later.
You are being disingenous - they are in it for the money.
