Of course Hep B is super transmissible, these people are lunatics. I applaud your efforts, just take care you don’t argue with these people too much, for the sake of your sanity.

It gets tiring, doesn't it? I spent my career explaining that various psych treatments were still vastly worth it, even though they did have side effects. Multumesc foarte mult.

The cause of vaccination was set back two generations by the shocking and aggressive violation of the underlying social contract during the COVID-19 era. That’s just how things are now, it’s in the past.

One of the more consequential public health issues, therefore, is making damn sure it never happens again. Some consequences for the bad actors would help also.

I noticed the UK switched not long ago (2017) to universal infant vaccination for Hep B. We do not have universal newborn vaccination. This remains only for high risk groups.

It seems to me that if you are worried about other routes of transmission than birth then the infant schedule and not immediate vaccination at birth is most relevant.

We don't give any other vaccines at birth and I can see how this would be off-putting to parents. It is a moment of great vulnerability.

I apprecaite that the UK and USA are starting in completely different places when it comes to public health so the correct direction of travel may differ.

first paragraph:

>I do not the children (!) of these so-called “degenerates” deserve to get chronic liver issues

should be: I do not *think* the children

apologies for the nit, just stood out to me as i opened it

> Now, to be clear, I do not the children (!) of these so-called “degenerates” deserve to get chronic liver issues because of their parents’ actions

Missing word? Should that say do not believe?
