Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) Nurses Speak Out

In past posts, I've shared commentaries from doctors and nurses who have spoken out about vaccine risks. Below are videos of two NICU nurses who also had the courage to speak out. In the first video, a 30 year NICU nurse talks about vaccinating preemies; giving the Hepatitis B shot on the first day of life; mandatory flu vaccines for nurses and more.

“I’ve been a NICU nurse for almost 30 years and, uh, retiring early because I can no longer do what we were taught, uh, to do. My whole philosophy and thoughts on vaccines have changed and  I don’t feel they’re safe.   . . . in nursing school, you’re never taught the dangers of vaccines. You’re never taught the dangers.  Your taught that this is, they’re safe and effective and this is the schedule. What prompted my questioning of the safety of vaccines is when we started giving brand new newborns Hepatitis B vaccine; less than an our hold and we had to vaccinate not at risk newborns for Hepatitis B."

In this 2015 interview, Michelle Rowton of Nurses Against Mandatory Vaccinations tells how it was well known amongst medical professionals that vaccinating preemies and low birth weight infants “on schedule” would immediately result in adverse effects post-immunization. Michelle also discusses the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) study* that verified the risks of adverse events to low birth weight infants.

​"I think what a lot of people don’t realize in a closed space like NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) is that they’ve decided that we need to vaccinate these babies on-time. Two months after they’re born… bam!—there it goes. This baby could be four months early and still supposed to be inside their mother, weighting three or four pounds and getting the same amount of vaccines as a 200 pound man. … I’ve sat in a room with our on-call staff of physicians and practitioners (when they say) ‘Oh wow, this is so embarrassing this 25 weeker never actually required a breathing tube and going on the vent after he was born, he was so strong. But we gave him his two month vaccinations and he got intubated last night ha ha, oops how embarrassing.’ The step-down units are calling the NICU’s and saying ‘hey we’re going to go ahead and give these four babies their two month shots today, make sure you have beds ready because we all know they’re going to have increased breathing difficulties, feeding and digestion difficulties, apnea, and bradycardia. This is what goes on." — Michelle Rowton, NP
