Yet, she is hospitalised, resuscitated… to have the whole round of torture repeated. There is no place for the death penalty in civil society.

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)
