Babies who don’t get the vitamin K shot are 81 times more likely to develop severe bleeding. In many cases, oxygen can’t reach their brains and blood pools around their skulls. Yet driven by misinformation, more parents are refusing the injection. (Published May)

Babies Are Bleeding to Death as Parents Reject a Vitamin Shot Given at Birth

A lifesaving injection given at birth to prevent severe bleeding has become collateral damage of the anti-vaccine movement.

Trump’s new AI website believes he is the “former” president and acknowledges his criminal indictments

Screenshot of America.gov answering, “Has a president ever been criminally indicted? If so, who?” The response says former President Donald J. Trump has been criminally indicted and that no sitting president is shown in the cited sources as having been indicted. It cites Trump’s August 1, 2023 federal indictment on four counts related to conduct after the 2020 election, as well as Congressional Research Service information noting additional New York and Florida indictments.

THE LESLIE UGGAMS SHOW debuted on CBS #OTD in 1969. The Tony Award-winning singer and actress was just 26 — but insisted on an integrated cast + crew for her weekly variety show. "People got to see somebody who looked like them,” she said in 2016. "I think that’s a great legacy." #TVSky

TV Guide Fall Preview copy:

"The hour-long gap left by the noisy departure of the Smothers Brothers is being filled by The Leslie Uggams Show. Producers Saul lison and Ernest Chambers (who were the Smotherses' original producers) say that Miss Uggams is doing a comedy show with music, not vice versa—roughly 60 percent comedy, 40 percent music. And they insist they are not shying away from satire.

A regular feature is a family-comedy sketch called "SugarHill," sort of a black counterpart of "The Honeymooners." Two or three guests are expected to show up each week, among them Raymond Burr,Sebastian Cabot, Barbara Feldon, Don Knotts, Martin Landau and Barbara Bain, Mitch Miller, Sly and the Family Stone, and Dick Van Dyke. Yes, Tommy and Dickie have been invited to appear too. Once.

Debut: CBS, Sept. 28.
