Alright /sci/, let's set a few things straight here. Here's the score.
FACT. Doctors have been running around clamping our umbilical cords early for decades.[1]
FACT. 30% of the infant's blood volume is stored in the placenta at any given time, this can be as high as 40% after being squeezed through the borth canal.[2]
FACT. Halting placental transfusion by clamping and severing the umbilical cord immediately after delivery deprives the infant of its means of gas exchange (oxygen intake and CO2 etc removal) during the immediate perinatal period while the lungs are becoming functional, this causes hypoxic stress and acidifies the blood.[2]
FACT. This deprives the infant of its iron stores, iron (ferritin) is strongly correlates with early neurodevelopmental outcomes.[11 - 13]
FACT. The bulk of the infant's stem cells are stored in the placental and cord blood. These are supposed to flow into the infant and repair any damage done during the borth, such as vascular microhemmorhages abd other compression and blood pressure spike related damage.[2]
FACT. Clinical trials have found reduced brain myelination in early clamped infants at 4 and 12 months.[3-5]
FACT. The Cord blood, placenta, umbilical cord, and foreskin, may be harvested and sold. This is part of cord banking.[6-9]
FACT. Virginia Apgar (of the apgar score, which encouraged early clamping in the 50's[1]), despite having the appearance and background one might correlate with a Polish Jew, is seen in the attached photo with a lapel insignia that is unusually close to resembling a German SS rank.[10]
