General Discussion

Few of them are still in practice that remember what it was like before the Vitamin K shots, the ointments, the vaccines.
Few doctors now-a-days have gone to poor countries where babies are still being born in 1920's poor farming community conditions, where parents were resigned to a sickly or disabled baby only surviving two, maybe three years requiring constant care and scarce resources - because leaving a struggling newborn out in the wilds to die naturally, so the family could morn, then try to have another, heathier baby the next year just wasn't socially acceptable anymore.
Parents in poor countries make difficult resource allocations decisions that mean life and death for their families.
And today's GOP Conservatives seem perfectly willing to go back to a Bronze Age society, where sickly elders, disabled, and newborns unable to thrive are abandoned to die in back allies or wilderness if other family members are "doomed into poverty for sins" and don't have the resouces to care for the sick or disabled.
Hell, the current cult of Conservatives would eagerly buy or sell the healthy, good looking children of the poor for their own use or amusement; why should they worry about the wellbeing of their neighbor's brats if those kids aren't attractive or useful to them?
