I was going to say the EXACT same thing. People even are refusing the vitamin K shot in their newborns

I've heard the neonatologists say that they make the parents repeat back, write down, and sign a consent form that says "I understand that refusing the vitamin K shot significantly increases the chances of bleeding, including brain bleeds that can lead to significant disability or death."

Not many people seem to want to sign that form for some reason.
