I also take serious issue with hep b vaccine being given on day one of life in the US

Why?

Because there is virtually 0 risk as they screen the mothers in pregnancy. Its unnecessary. The only reason its given on day one is that it's a captive audience. That's not a good enough reason.

There are other ways that Hepatitis B can be transmitted, so I don't agree that there is 0 risk. The vaccine is justified in my estimation.

Intravenous drug use and sex?

Those two are well known. Unlikely for a newborn to have need for, but not entirely outside of the realm of possibility -- emergency medical treatments are a possibility if someone fails to administer with infected equipment, or sexual abuse (e.g., by a Catholic Priest).

Your talking such rare occurrences it's probably at the very most...and im reaching, 1 in a million. Which is statistically insignificant

Where do you get that statistic from? Child sex abuse by Catholic Clergy is pretty common (in the thousands): https://www.thespec.com/news-story/8846475-u-s-report-reveals-priests-committing-sexual-assaults-in-canada/ … P.S.: I meant to write "if someone administers with infected equipment" and not "if someone fails to administer with infected equipment."

This mostly talks about teens not newborn babies. They would actually have to have sex. And it says 300 priests. Those priest would have to be infected with hep b.

Replying to @Organic_Mumzy @randolf828 and
How many hep b infected priests are having sex with newborn babies and infecting them? That's where the stats would be.

That's a fair point. However, the Hepatitis B vaccine, which lasts 20 years, will protect teens from getting Hepatitis B in the event that they're raped by an infected Catholic Priest. There's also circumcision which may be executed in front of an audience who aren't clean.
