If hepatitis B is contracted in infancy there is a 90-95% chance of it progressing in to the chronic form which results in liver cirrhosis and cancer. As few as 16 DNA copies/mL of blood have been shown to be sufficient for transmission.
These people really want kids sick. Hepatitis B is not just a “sexually transmitted and IV drug user disease” like Means claims here. If she had ever completed medical training she might know that up to 40% of HepB infections are actually acquired in childhood & kill thousands of Americans per year.

The president is a person who would be unable to survive in this country if he had to live independently for a day. He wouldn't know what to do at a grocery store. Never mind applying for a job. What good is he to us
