There is a rising concern regarding Vitamin A as a preventive measure against measles, following claims by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and other vaccine skeptics. Experts assert that Vitamin A is ineffective against measles and can lead to toxicity, particularly in unvaccinated children now being hospitalized in Texas due to overdose. With around 422 cases in the state, medical professionals warn against the misuse of Vitamin A, emphasizing that proper vaccination is crucial for protection and that Vitamin A usage can do more harm than good.
Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and other vaccine skeptics have promoted Vitamin A. They claim it can dramatically reduce measles deaths. Medical experts said Vitamin A does not prevent measles and does not directly fight the virus when used as a treatment.
Giving Vitamin A to children who are not deficient is, in no way, going to protect them from the measles. I would also like to point out that Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin. You can overdose on Vitamin A, and we are beginning to see cases of children with Vitamin A toxicity and liver damage.
