A bit of irony: HEPATITIS B VACCINATION
The following comes from the NDDIC (The
National Digestive Diseases Information Clearinghouse, a service of the National
Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), and part of the
National Institutes of Health under the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services.
First, they state:
"Hepatitis B spreads by contact with an infected
person's blood, semen, or other body fluid."
They continue,
"You could get hepatitis B by:
- having sex with an infected person without using a condom,
- sharing drug needles,
- getting a tattoo or body piercing with dirty tools that were used on
someone else,
- getting pricked with a needle that has infected blood on it (health care
workers can get hepatitis B this way),
- sharing a toothbrush or razor with an infected person,
- being born to a woman who has hepatitis B or through
her breast milk."
And,
"You can NOT get hepatitis B by ...
- shaking hands with an infected person,
- hugging an infected person,
- sitting next to an infected person."
The CDC (Centers for Disease Control &
Prevention, www.cdc.gov
) lists the following as prime candidates for the Hepatitis B vaccination:
"High-risk populations:
- People with multiple sex partners and those who have been recently
diagnosed with a sexually transmitted disease.
- Sex partners and household contacts of HBV carriers.
- Men who have sex with men.
- Household contacts of children adopted from countries with high rates of
hepatitis B.
- Injection drug users.
- Travelers to countries with high rates of hepatitis B (staying longer
than 6 months).
- People with occupational exposure to blood.
- Clients and staff in institutions for the developmentally disabled.
- Patients with chronic kidney failure (including those on chronic
hemodialysis).
- Patients receiving clotting factor concentrates.
- Inmates of long-term correctional facilities."
Therefore, routine vaccination as follows is mandated:
All infants, children, and adolescents. The hepatitis B vaccine is given
through three shots. All babies should get the vaccine. Infants get the first
shot within 12 hours after birth. They get the second shot at age 1 to 2 months
and the third shot between ages 6 and 18 months. Older children and adults can
get the vaccine, too. They get three shots over 6 months. Children who have not
had the vaccine should get it.
HOW DO THE VAST MAJORITY OF PRISTINE, 0 TO
12 HOUR OLD INFANTS RELATE IN ANY WAY TO THE "AT RISK" PROFILES
DEFINED ABOVE BY THE CDC AND NDDIC ?????!!!!!!!!!
Here are some articles you should read before
allowing your newborn to be injected with the hepatitis B vaccine.
