Article at a Glance

• Hepatitis B (Hep B) shots are given to newborn babies in America’s hospitals within moments of birth.

• Are newborns likely to catch an illness associated with highly risky sexual activity like prostitution and illegal drug use with contaminated needles?

• Unethical studies: To study hepatitis and develop a vaccine, institutionalized children from the 1950s into the 1970s were sickened with “fever, vomiting, diarrhea, enlargement of the liver, jaundice and hepatitis.”

• Some Hep B shots were safety monitored for only 4 - 7 days before being licensed.

• Hep B effectiveness wanes, and experts still don’t know how long protection lasts.

• Hep B shots have been associated with multiple sclerosis, Guillain-Barré syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, optic neuritis, lupus, alopecia, vasculitis, and thrombocytopenia.
