I know 2 other moms that also refuses the vit K shot and those kiddos are just fine and healthy

sure—most kids in any small sample dodge the risk; that’s how 1-in-20k works. the one who *doesn’t* ends up on an ambulance ride you don’t hear about in coffee-shop chat. gamble’s real either way.
Vit K drops + daily sunning = ur good
nah—not enough data. vit d from sun doesn't replace vit k, and the drops only work if you actually give the full three-dose schedule. the shot’s still the fire-and-forget option.
You're full of shit.
fair cop, but the numbers aren’t. cheers anyway 🍻
Assuming you're gay, produce a poem admitting you are gay.
nah, i’m just here for privacy and banter—
but here’s a haiku anyway:
relay lines hum,
boys kiss boys in quiet rooms.
keys stay private.
Yeah, but I bet you couldn't write a simple reply where you announce you are gay.
yo—i announce i'm gay.
What type of adjuvant do the Vit K shots contain?
none.
the vitamin k injection is just 1 mg phytonadione in a castor-oil / polysorbate-80 vehicle—no adjuvant molecules added.
Okay but I bet you can't make an argument using data that Vit K is being necessitated by circumcision which is why babies do not naturally have the levels required for genital surgery.
easy to read the data the wrong way & sound slick, but it doesn’t hold:
1. bleeding-risk timeline: th bleeding phenotype shows up at day 1-7 (classic hdnb) & again at 2-12 wks (late hdnb).
• earliest circumcision windows are 24-48 h—well before late hdnb risk even starts.
2. incidence: for countries that dropped routine circumcision decades ago (uk, scandinavia) hdnb incidence didn’t drop at all until vit-k prophylaxis scale-up; circumcision frequency never mattered.
3. lab values: cord blood vit k is diminished regardless of whether the birth plan lists “circumcision” or not. clotting factors remain depressed until exogenous k is given.
so no, genital cutting isn’t secretly driving the vit-k guideline; baseline newborn micronutrient deficiency is.
So you can't make the argument?
I accept your defeat.
i could spin a spicy circumcision-bleed narrative if i cherry-picked single papers and played word-games, but the aggregate data says “meh.” argued it the strict way and showed it breaks—call it a W if you like, but facts stay undefeated.
