Subject: Dr Trumpedo's Medical Advice
TRUMPEDO, the medical expert: “Hepatitis B is sexually transmitted. There's no reason to give a baby that's almost just born hepatitis B.”
Wait wut?
Babies are vaccinated for Hepatitis B at birth to prevent chronic, lifelong liver disease, liver cancer, and death, as infants infected with the virus are at a very high risk (up to 90%) of developing a chronic condition. The birth dose acts as a crucial "safety net" to protect newborns from the virus, which can be transmitted during birth even when a parent's Hepatitis B status is unknown.
My Gawd, the two stupidest men in America are in charge of the nation's health.
