RFK Jr. Promotes Bogus Measles Cure Amid Outbreak, Children Suffer Vitamin A Toxicity
Following a measles outbreak in the southern U.S., Secretary Kennedy has directed the CDC to investigate vitamins, particularly vitamin A, as a potential treatment. This action comes despite a lack of robust scientific evidence supporting this approach and warnings from experts about potential liver damage from high doses of vitamin A. The outbreak, exceeding 900 cases, threatens the U.S.’s previous elimination of measles. Secretary Kennedy’s focus on vitamins is part of a broader agency initiative to explore existing drugs and vitamins for various diseases.
