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.
Yes I do get what you’re saying. But what you are saying would mean that everyone is required to do what the insurance company tells them to do.
What should be happening, is that the insurance companies should have to go by what the patients doctor says they do or do not need. Doctors shouldn’t be basing their care on what the insurance company tells them to do.
