In fact, getting vaccinated may even help\u00a0lower<\/a>\u00a0the risk of SIDS.<\/p>\n

When Del Bigtree talks about how long vaccine safety trials last, he is misunderstanding what he reads in vaccine inserts. These inserts are legal documents, not medical studies. Sometimes they say that people were watched for a few days to look for short-term reactions like a sore arm. But that doesn\u2019t mean the whole safety study only lasted a few days. In reality, vaccine safety studies often last months or even years. You can learn more about how vaccine studies are done\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bigtree also claims that babies don\u2019t need the hepatitis B (Hep B) vaccine because it spreads through sex or sharing needles. While that\u2019s true, those are not the only ways Hep B spreads. Doctors give babies the Hep B shot at birth because some moms don\u2019t know they have the virus. About\u00a030\u201340% of people<\/a>\u00a0with long-term Hep B got it as babies or young children. Only about half of infected mothers are found before they give birth.<\/p>\n

Even today, around\u00a025,000<\/a>\u00a0babies in the U.S. are born each year to moms with\u00a0Hep B. If a newborn catches it, about\u00a090% of them will stay infected<\/a>\u00a0for life. This raises their chances of\u00a0liver disease and liver cancer<\/a>\u00a0later on.<\/p>\n

There are many reasons why mothers don\u2019t know they have\u00a0Hep B. The test for\u00a0Hep B\u00a0is harder<\/a>\u00a0to understand\u00a0than some other tests. A mom might get infected after her first test during pregnancy, but before giving birth. Tests can also be wrong sometimes, showing a false \u201cnegative.\u201d Mistakes can happen too\u2014like ordering the wrong test, reading the results wrong, or not sharing the results clearly.<\/p>\n

Hepatitis B\u00a0can also live outside the body for up to\u00a07 days<\/a>, even in dried blood. That means it can spread in other ways, too, like through bites in daycare, dirty needles, or bandages left in public places. This doesn\u2019t happen often, but it\u2019s still possible.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
