Vaccine and science denialism has deadly consequences.
Screenshot of a ProPublica post on X reporting that autopsy records for multiple infants showed Vitamin K deficiency as the cause of or a contributor to their deaths, and that the babies' parents had refused the standard newborn Vitamin K shot. The post links to a ProPublica article titled "Tiny Footprints, a Blue Blanket: What I Can't Forget About the Babi..." and includes an image of ink footprints from a newborn.
