Iβm getting tired of studies that arenβt in the public domain being put on the public record. This is not normal.

18.09.2025 16:37 β π 12 π 4 π¬ 0 π 0Mother-to-child transmission of HBV is especially concerning, because it is preventable. An estimated 25,000 infants are born to mothers diagnosed with HBV each year in the United States, and approximately 1,000 mothers transmit HBV to their infants. Without appropriate medical care and vaccinations, 90% of HBV-infected newborns will develop chronic infection, remaining infected throughout their lives. Up to 25% of people infected at birth will die prematurely of HBV-related causes. For this reason, the standard of care for pregnant women includes an HBV test during each pregnancy so that the appropriate steps can be taken to prevent HBV-positive mothers from transmitting the disease to her infant.
HHS says that 1000 moms transmit hep B to their babies at birth per year!

18.09.2025 15:50 β π 104 π 15 π¬ 2 π 0What about thimerosal? Few vaccines contain thimerosal, and it is easy to get thimerosal-free vaccines if you choose. Thimerosal is an organic, ethylmercury compound. The mercury can be harmful to humans is methylmercury. Ethylmercury: Leaves your body in less than a week and is unlikely to cause harm. Found in a few vaccines and in contact solutions. Methylmercury: This can build up in your body and cause harm in high levels. Found in many kinds of fish and shellfish.
The form of mercury that was used in a small proportion of flu vaccines was safe. Because not all mercury-containing compounds are the same.

Rubella was an absolutely devastating disease. Then we crushed it with vaccines.

Diseases that we vaccinate against can increase your risk of seizures.
www.voicesforvaccines.org/jtf_topics/d...
Dr. Jake Scott asks why ACIP is asking about the MMRV when there's NO new data to report. "We've known about the seizure risk since 2005 and have been transparently discussing it with parents for nearly 20 years. Highlighting it again seems designed to amplify fear rather than improve safety."
18.09.2025 15:17 β π 94 π 26 π¬ 1 π 0I offer a heartfelt congratulations to Xp Lee on his victory in tonightβs special election. Xp's commitment to expanding access to education, affordable health care, and good-paying jobs honors the legacy of our dear friend, Speaker Emeritus Melissa Hortman. Across Minnesota, our hearts are still broken by the horrific assassination that stole Melissa and her husband Mark. Political violence is a scourge that has taken far too many lives. Enough is enough. It must end now. And in every case, each of us has a responsibility to condemn and reject political violence wherever it rears its head. The sacred duty of an elected representative is to work tirelessly for the interests of their constituents. Rep-elect Lee will be a champion for the constituents of his district, and through that work, proudly carry the legacy of a leader who worked tirelessly for all Minnesotans β my friend, the great Melissa Hortman.
Congratulations to Xp Lee on his victory tonight. I know that heβll carry on the legacy of our dear friend Melissa Hortman and fight for all of his constituents at the MN State House.
