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.
RFK is so ridiculously stupid.
It’s time to bring RFK to schools with measles outbreaks. Let him personally reassure people that the vaccine is a choice.
What, you’re worried about catching measles? Why the fuck would you?
I guarantee that RFK has had the MMR vaccine.
