Summary
Texas hospitals are treating children with vitamin A poisoning linked to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s promotion of the supplement as a measles treatment.
At Covenant Children’s hospital in Lubbock, patients with measles showed abnormal liver function due to excessive vitamin A intake.
Kennedy, the U.S. health secretary, claimed vitamin A dramatically reduces measles mortality. Experts warn his messaging confuses parents and downplays the proven protection of the MMR vaccine.
The U.S. faces its worst measles outbreak in decades, with nearly 500 cases across 21 states and two confirmed deaths.
“I’m sorry, you’re not white so you can’t be a parent” is, historically, how that’d go.
Yeah. I was still thinking I was in a normal society for a moment, it’s still kind of hard to accept that this is what’s happening.
There’s still tens of thousands of people alive right now that were forcefully sterilized up until the late 70s. 10 years ago we passed laws to help the victims. We can find and talk to people who have had their “parenting license” taken away by the state.
I hate that you are right.
