They probably also don't know its transmitted by a fecal-oral vector... So many vaccine enthusiasts think its some sort of "cough, cough, now I'm paralyzed" nonsense. |
You need to educate yourself because your are incorrect |
Even though it is transmitted by bodily fluids, the 2nd most common way children acquire it is through contact. Very tiny amounts are far more infectious than Hep C or HIV plus it is stable on surfaces for a week. A tiny amount of bodily fluid (a bloody nose drip, a little blood on a toothbrush, a daycare kid who bites), plus a toddler who rubs their eye is all it takes. Half of infected children still acquires it through contact. Mostly household contacts but there are rare examples of daycare transmission |
Hence the swimming pool idiot! |

Here’s some receipts, though I suspect your pretzel logic is incoming. If you think they’re not coming for other jabs soon, IDK what to tell you.
Besides, the claim that it was all a money grab, but some of us are okay with spending the $$. “In the late 1940s, more than 35,000 people were paralyzed from polio in the U.S. every year, according to the CDC. But the advent of an effective vaccine in 1955 dramatically reduced the spread of the disease to less than 100 cases annually by the 1960s.” https://www.cnbc.com/2022/10/04/how-polio-silently-spread-in-new-york-and-left-a-person-paralyzed.html#:~:text=In%20the%20late%201940s%2C%20more,cases%20annually%20by%20the%201960s. |

The bottom line is that even though the total overall risk of Hep B is low, any small risk of disease, which is severe, costly, and devastating, is still higher than any tiny risk of the vaccine. The earlier the better as some folks are silent carriers and research shows that children still get infected through others even though they don't do drugs or have sex - due to how much more contagious Hep B is and how stable it is on surfaces (from other people is the 2nd most common way children are infected, after childbirth).
When you choose not to vaccinate even though you think the risk to you personally is low - even then - you chose the higher risk option. |
DP to add, this risk calculation will inevitably tip more toward it being better to vaccinate the more our leaders push distrust in vaccination. People feel safe because we had a successful program, but now we will be weakening that program. |

Adults also need the hep B vaccination every 10 years. How many of you are getting it every 10 years? How many of the general adult public are getting it every 10 years?

Just so we are all clear, historically, this is why the CDC ACIP recommended HepB vaccines for children.
"If adults won't go for the shots, then give them to children" - New York Times, March 1, 1991 |
The true risks of vaccination have been hidden from the public while their benefits have been overstated. It’s going to shift the calculation on a lot of these in hopefully short order. |
A I just asked DH this morning. I don't think we've ever received it. And, it's not like it's advertised like Shingles and pneumonia. |
Every 10 years? Stop making things up. These hepB vax fascists are seriously nutty. AAFP (2023) https://www.aafp.org/pubs/fpm/issues/2023/0900/hepatitis-b-vaccination-recommendations.html All of the current HepB vaccines provide long-term or lifelong immunity. Therefore, there is no need for a booster series for individuals who previously completed a HepB vaccine series. One population that may require a HepB booster are patients on hemodialysis. These patients have antibodies to hepatitis B su”ace antigen (anti-HBs) checked annually. If their anti-HBs are <10 mlU/mL, then a booster dose should be administered. |
And …? Beside the fact that this was over 30 years ago, there is nothing nefarious about it. |
Are you really this dumb? Giving healthy children a vaccine is not “targeting healthy children.” It is keeping children healthy. If you don’t give your child a vaccine that literally prevents cancer, you are an idiot and a bad parent. |
