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.
If a scientist wanted to take a syringe with purple fluid in it, and inject it in your arm, and he said “trust me, its good for you”, would you just take it without asking what it is?

Nobody is doing this. Here’s your logical fallacy.
No it’s not a strawman. This happened with the covid-19 vacs. Sure it wasn’t purple, but I wasn’t specifically talking about that vac.
