A tiny number of babies hemorrhage during the first six months of life. Giving them vitamin K stops the bleeding as it prompts the blood's clotting factors to start working as they presumably weren't before. Therefore, goes the narrative, we should preempt the problem and give every baby a massive dose of vitamin K at birth. After all, "it's just a vitamin, so what's the problem?" This is what happens when science is divorced from any kind of belief system and is controlled by people who themselves think they are gods.
Maybe I missed it but what is the reason for giving Vitamin K to millions of babies in the first place?

Thanks! So I guess it would be like getting an anti-venom shot for snake bite; just in case...
