A measles outbreak in West Texas has escalated into a crisis of vitamin A toxicity among children, attributed to erroneous advice from HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Although he advocated for the measles vaccine as the primary defense, Kennedy promoted vitamin A as a treatment, misleading parents. His recommendations prompted a rise in vitamin A consumption without medical guidance, leading to hospital admissions. The situation has resulted in resignations of several CDC officials, signaling significant unrest within health organizations due to Kennedy's influence and the spread of misinformation.
Kennedy recently directed the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to update measles guidance to promote vitamin A use in fighting the infection.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, has pedaled debunked medical information for years, now his advice appears to be hurting children in Texas.
