🚨 EXPOSED: Kaiser’s internal “script” to coerce parents into newborn shots & procedures—straight from Aaron Siri.
Aaron Siri shared this document that was sent to him by a concerned insider at Kaiser.
Titled “Newborn Medications at Birth – Standard Communication & Scripting,” it’s a playbook for how staff should push Vitamin K shots, Erythromycin eye ointment, and the Hepatitis B vaccine on every newborn.
Here’s what the document actually tells staff to do (direct quotes):
• Present these medications as routine and standard care
• Use clear, confident, and consistent language
• Avoid framing as optional unless parents specifically express hesitation
• Suggested script: “As part of our routine newborn care, we will be giving your baby three important medications. This includes a Vitamin K injection to prevent serious bleeding, an eye ointment to protect against infection, and the Hepatitis B vaccine to help protect your baby from serious illness. These are standard for all newborns and help keep your baby safe and healthy.”
• If parents have questions or hesitate, add: “These medications have been safely used for many years and are strongly recommended because they prevent serious complications that can occur in newborns. We want to make sure your baby has the best protection right from the start.”
Additional reminders:
• Avoid saying “it’s optional” or “you can refuse” unless directly asked
• Escalate to the neonatologist if parents are declining
• Reinforce that this is routine, evidence-based care
This isn’t education or informed consent. This is coordinated coercion.
Hospitals are training staff to treat parental hesitation like a problem to be managed—not a right to be respected.
They scripted how to steer families away from saying no without ever admitting it’s optional.
Coercion is wrong.
Parents have the fundamental right to make medical decisions for their newborns—not be psychologically maneuvered into compliance by corporate talking points.
Ask questions.
Demand real informed consent, not sales scripts.
