When the U.S. switched to a recommendation of a birth dose, we went from 20,000 cases a year to 20 cases a year.

We basically eliminated this disease in children.

Since we started doing this in the 90s, it's prevented over 90,000 infant deaths.

This is just obviously the right thing to do.

There's no, like, big concern about side of, it's fine, it's fine, just do it.

Hello and welcome to opening arguments.

This is episode 1227.

I'm Thomas Smith and got a, I'm sure you can tell by the title, really important one today.

This is something that Janice is bringing to us that is just not being talked about enough.

And we just absolutely need to be blowing the whistle on this one.

And I'm really looking forward to getting the word out.

Oh, and Janessa wanted me to add that there is a special election in New York on February 3rd with the voter registration deadline being the 24th.

So coming up in just under a week, Janessa always wants to use her time on here

to shout out voting and election-related stuff. And I'm happy to do it. So anyone in New York,

February 3rd is that special election. The registration deadline if you want to get registered is the 24th.

All right. Well, we're going to take a quick break, which you can avoid at patreon.com slash law, and then we're going to get into it with Janessa. Really important stuff. So stay with us, and we'll be back after this. This show is brought to you by Shopify.
