RFK Jr.’s Misinformation Leads to Children’s Hospitalization from Vitamin A Overdose
Following Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s promotion of vitamin A as a measles treatment, several children in Texas have been hospitalized with vitamin A toxicity, exhibiting abnormal liver function. This occurred despite warnings from health officials that vitamin A does not prevent measles. The outbreak has already affected over 320 Texans, resulting in 40 hospitalizations and one death. Pharmacies reported increased sales of vitamin A-rich products after Kennedy’s claims.
