The ostrich con: Arguments to save birds from cull in B.C. were based on falsehoods, evidence shows | CBC News

The 10-month standoff on a B.C. ostrich farm last year was the most expensive poultry cull in Canada’s history. A fifth estate investigation reveals the campaign to save the ostriches was based on falsehoods.

To all those #antiscience conspiracy theorist #nutjobs out there ( #flatearthers, #climateskeptics, #antivaxxers), stop going to the doctor for your health problems. If you cannot trust #scientists, how can you trust your local doctor with your health?

AP:It’s not just vaccines — parents are refusing other routine preventive care for newborns

"Medical mistrust is spreading beyond vaccines: Refusals of vitamin K shots for newborns have nearly doubled since 2017, alarming doctors nationwide.
Newborns without the shot are 81 times more likely to suffer potentially deadly bleeding, a preventable complication that once affected 1 in 60 babies."

New parents are shunning proven preventive care for their infants in effort to be 'natural'

Doctors across the nation are alarmed that skepticism fueled by rising anti-science sentiment and medical mistrust is increasingly reaching beyond vaccines to other safe and routine care for babies. A recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that refusals of vitamin K shots rose steeply between 2017 and 2024. Those shots can prevent potentially deadly bleeding. A subsequent research review found that U.S. parents who declined vitamin K shots were 90 times more likely to also refuse the hepatitis B vaccine and an eye ointment that can prevent potentially blinding infections. Pediatricians say these refusals put their youngest patients at grave risk.
