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.
So to everyone who down voted my comment… I take it you would like to be forced to take something you didn’t want to take?
Yes. I would 100% enjoy mandatory vaccinations when those vaccines are standardized, well regulated, and proven to save countless lives. I want to be forced to take the shot, I want the person to my right to be forced, I want the person to my left to be forced.
I want to save people from horrible death and lifelong disability. I want to eradicate diseases.
If the thing has been proven time and time again to be a benefit for the entire society?
Yes.
Only someone clearly deranged and selfish would choose otherwise.
