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.
I say “if”, because a person can be pro vaccine, but have an issue with one in particular after researching it.
Sure. That if is still holding up your entire argument. Counter point, there are plenty of vaccines we don’t administer because the risk of the vaccine doesn’t outweigh the benefits. Off the top of my head, I can think of polio and smallpox vaccinces. There are large organizations doing actual research and crunching the numbers to find out, so we already do consider the efficacy before we just inject kids full of vaccines for no reason.
I imagine, if you went to court about not wanting your child to receive a certain medical treatment, and you showed up with 50 or so peer reviewed and supported journal articles showing the benefits of the treatments along with the risk and their rate of occurrence, then referenced current and predicted rates for the conditions they are medicating against and the severity of those conditions and summarizes with your own peer reviewed research that the particular treatment is no longer efficacious… Then you can make the claim that you did your own research.
If you show up with a fucking Facebook post and a Bible, then the state ought to take your kids away for their own safety.
I don’t want to be injected with something unless I agree to it. That is not unreasonable. To forcibly inject people with drugs / vaccines against their will is assault.
