Babies were found with dead brain tissue similar to what follows cancer and the kind of bleeding seen after a stroke.
Their autopsies all came to the same conclusion: Their deaths could have been prevented with a long-standard vitamin shot.

Analysis Summary
Babies who died from preventable bleeding and brain damage — conditions caused by vitamin K deficiency — had pathology findings that match the post's description. ProPublica's investigation confirmed a rise in these deaths linked to parents refusing the standard newborn vitamin K shot, often due to vaccine hesitancy. The post's language is graphic but medically accurate. What's missing: vitamin K shots are not vaccines and do not contain the controversial ingredients parents typically reject, yet many refuse them anyway because they've conflated all newborn medical interventions with vaccine skepticism.
