Summary
Dr. Joseph Mercola, a prominent alternative medicine advocate, reversed his long-standing position that vitamin K shots for newborns are unnecessary. After ProPublica contacted him while investigating infant deaths linked to parents declining the shot, Mercola publicly acknowledged that the data clearly shows vitamin K saves lives. This marks a significant reversal from over a decade of warnings he issued to parents against the routine, potentially lifesaving injection.
