What was said

"What I will say is that it's so much more than vitamin K in that shot. There is polyorbate, there's propyline glycol, there is a blackbox warning."

In a discussion about newborn care, Taylor Dukes says the standard vitamin K shot is 'so much more than vitamin K' and claims it contains additives including polysorbate and propylene glycol. She also says there is a 'black-box warning', and suggests parents should review what is in the injection when making a decision; she says she would use oral vitamin K drops instead.
