"For more than a decade, Dr. Joseph Mercola cautioned parents against a potentially lifesaving shot of vitamin K for their newborn babies: “Vitamin K shots are completely unnecessary for your newborn.”

But now, in a break from his past warnings, Mercola is saying he no longer believes that."

A Popular Doctor Had Long Warned That Vitamin K Shots Are Risky for Newborns. Now He’s Changed His Tune.

After ProPublica contacted Dr. Joseph Mercola for an article on babies dying after parents turned down vitamin K shots, he publicly reversed his long-held stance that the shots weren't needed. “The data is clear: vitamin K saves lives,” he wrote.

send them all to Mars!

Who?

these science-deniers who endanger children’s lives with their nonsense

(at least this one now kinda sorta admits he was wrong)

Unlike #ClimateChange deniers & #Antivax'ers, it's FAR easier for Denialists to realize they were catastrophically wrong when the consequences are more immediate. 😒

Interesting crack in the crankery sphere. The damage has been done. And who knows--this info might be coming from Joey's new spirit guide (ask @[email protected] about that). But maybe some babies won't have brain bleeds now. #VaccinesSaveLives #VitaminK

"Doctors around the country say they are seeing more cases of serious, sometimes life-threatening illnesses that vaccines have long kept at bay, including whooping cough and bacterial infections that can cause pneumonia or meningitis."

Hospitals See Diseases Resurge as Vaccinations Decline

Doctors nationwide are encountering more children with whooping cough, bacterial infections and other serious illnesses, as well as more adults refusing tetanus shots.

This brief highlights a translational advance that may inform how mental health practitioners think about neuroregeneration and cognitive resilience. The reported enhancement of neural stem cell differentiation into neurons suggests a potential avenue for future therapies aimed at supporting brain repair, which could be relevant for clinicians observing neurodegenerative and mood-related conditions.

Noting the emphasis on bridging vitamin K chemistry with neural biology, the work touches on the interface between nutrition-based substrates and neural plasticity. For therapists and related clinicians, this signals an area to monitor as research progresses, particularly regarding implications for recovery trajectories in disorders where neuronal loss or dysfunction is a feature.

This is heartbreaking. Tragedy that is so preventable, but people are getting hooked on dangerous anti-vax ideas and facing the most severe consequence of those ideas. #VitaminK #antivax

Tiny Footprints, a Blue Blanket: What I Can’t Forget About the Babies Who Died of Vitamin K Deficiency

Babies have died after not receiving the vitamin K shot at birth. Their autopsy records underscore how preventable their deaths could have been.

i hope your hell has a special place for you if youd rather force a conscious being to suffer and die

than get an abortion or use birth control

Living with a Mechanical Mitral Valve and Warfarin: The Diet, the Biochemistry, and What Nobody Tells You Until It’s Too Late

What I wish someone had handed me on discharge day: the biochemistry of warfarin and vitamin K, the food atlas, the drug and herbal interactions, travel, and the daily operating procedure of life on warfarin with a mechanical mitral valve. Written engineer-to-engineer.
