A Popular Doctor (& leading vaccine skeptic) Had Long Warned That Vitamin K Shots Are Risky for Newborns. Now He’s Changed His Tune. - sh.itjust.works
ProPublica contacted Mercola recently as it was preparing an article about
babies who died as a result of their parents turning down the vitamin K shot.
Mercola’s new point of view is just as unequivocal as his old one: “The data is
clear: vitamin K saves lives,” he wrote in an April article on his website two
days after ProPublica contacted him. He added: “Based on the totality of the
published evidence, I support vitamin K prophylaxis for all newborns.” He also
directed parents to speak to their children’s pediatricians. “Vitamin K
deficiency bleeding is rare, but when it occurs, the consequences can be
devastating and irreversible,” Mercola wrote. “A single injection at birth can
prevent it. Please talk to your doctor.” Mercola is a leading vaccine skeptic
and an ardent supporter of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy
Jr. He is a popular figure online, with a Facebook page that has some 1.7
million followers. He sends out a daily newsletter and sells alternative
treatments for a variety of ailments.

Four months later, an obscure Texas startup called America First Refining
announced that it had received a nine-figure investment from the Ambanis’
company. The deal puzzled numerous energy investors familiar with the project,
which aims to build the first major new oil refinery in the U.S. in about 50
years. The company is run by a serial entrepreneur with a history of bankruptcy
and lawsuits alleging fraud. After more than a decade of failed attempts to
raise money, blown deadlines and rebrands, it had been floundering.

Pulte’s grandfather, at one point one of the wealthiest men in the world, built
a Fortune 500 company and gave tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars to
charity before his 2018 death. He was also friends with Doug Coe, died in 2017
after decades leading the secretive, controversial Fellowship Foundation that
built and sustained a global right-wing network including dictators, lobbyists,
and corrupt millionaires largely united against labor, LGBTQ+ and reproductive
rights. Better known as The Family, The Fellowship runs the National Prayer
Breakfast and the congressional residence on Capitol Hill called C Street.
Pulte’s father, Mark, like others of the patriarch’s progeny, has kept a hand in
the grandfather’s work, including funding religious charities with Fellowship
ties.
