Because it's obvious that you can't trust Big Medicine and Big Science because Reasons! So if your doctor says your infant should get a shot of Vitamin K to prevent brain bleeding, obviously she's lying to you and you should not get Little Billy such a shot! And if you find an article on the Internet that breathlessly talks about Vitamin K shots causing leukemia (right next to the articles talking about how vaccines cause autism), then obviously it must be true!. Because shots are unnatural and make babies cry so obviously they must be evil and contaminating Little Billy's Precious Bodily Fluids! And probably causing an imbalance of humours, too!

[You can take it as a sign of how strongly I feel about this that I would put a picture of an injection needle on one of my posts, because I freaking hate needles. But I don't let that visceral and largely irrational fear stop me from doing what is medically necessary, for myself or my child, duh.]
Babies are getting brain bleeds—are vaccine fears to blame?
Some parents are refusing vitamin K injections for their newborns. The consequences can be devastating.
