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.

Calling an STD "super transmissible" is the kind of Orwellian abuse of language that makes it hard to take anything else you say seriously.

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.

So you spent your entire career giving people bad advise.

You never did this work did you? Go up against real suffering and see if it changes your mind.

Look I realize it's painful to admit your whole career has been a lie, but admitting the truth is good for the soul.

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.

Eugine Nier has commented in insulting fashion twice to me and also to others here, so I looked him up. I recommend people look him up under his various names including Elliot Temple before engaging him further.

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.

> unless you actually want to advocate for no vaccination whatsoever

There is no reason to give vaccines to kids not at any risk for the disease in question.

Can you possibly imagine that giving honey to an infant is worse than giving honey to a two-year old?

Adjutivants in vaccines are intentionally designed to be really really bad for you, so that your body freaks out and attacks whatever is injected with it.

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?
