    Hepatitis gets transmitted through the open wound every newborn has - the umbilical cord. Yes, that’s the same wound that causes Tetanus in newborns, commonly about 7 days after birth, and it is still one of the common causes for neonatal death. But infants are still protected by the Mother against Tetanus, if she’s vaccinated (And no, previous infection does not count. You don’t die from the bacteria, you die from their toxins - same situation as with botulinum toxin)

    Noone vaccinates a newborn against Tetanus; there are other ways of treatment, but they are no fun and include a long stay in intensive care, feeding a high calorie diet per IV (tube feeding is not possible), and a permanent diazepam iv drip to keep the muscle spasms - that can break bones - under control.

    You know whats fine regarding salts? They dissolve when not in ubiquitous amounts (go read up on your chemistry, man). Now you just have Aluminium! This Aluminium loves to get oxygen to become inert, which it gets. Those limits are made to keep workplace environments safe and lifetime exposure low (and more a political thing than a medical).

    I just looked it up, the CDC recommends 11 vaccinations in the first 2 years of life. That’s 14 diseases that cannot kill my child (and most are things that primarily kill children, that’s the reason they get them so early. Makes sense, doesn’t it?). Even if there were a tradeoff more that being a bit under the weather for a few days, it would be quite worth it.

    And there is ZERO evidence for that! ZERO! Vaccinations are a thing for quite a while now, and there is still nothing there except the brainless drivel you were probably fed by “Mom Groups” on Facebook, which you mean by “studying information” and which cooked your brain and that of thousand others.

    But rest assured, with Mr. Brainworm at the steering wheel in the US we will see how the child death rate will start climbing and let the glorious states look even more like a third world country regarding childhood death by preventable causes. The only sad thing here is that the price will be paid by children.
