Illinois doctors at the center of a lawsuit are being accused of unfairly using a medical loophole to enforce shots on infants.
Vitamin K shots have been administered in US hospitals since 1961 as a preventative measure against a life-threatening bleeding disorder.
"Babies can bleed into their intestines or brain where parents can’t see the bleeding to know that something is wrong," the CDC reported, adding that the consequences could be fatal.The Illinois lawsuit comes after several parents say they refused the shot and their hospital circumvented their wishes unlawfully.
In the class-action lawsuit, filed in October, plaintiffs claim that the hospitals and agencies"used the power given to them as State officials and/or employees and through their authorities and investigative powers to cause the Plaintiffs to be threatened and coerced into accepting unwanted and unnecessary medical procedures."
"They don’t have to come," another unidentified voice said."I think protective custody is you just claim that you have done it."
