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.
More importantly, look how no one is getting into trouble for endangering children.
Especially the guy who is actively harming children.
Who so you think they were referring to? What’s with peoples’ inability to read subtlety or infer meaning these days?
There’s the people who nominated and approved him, plus everyone who continues to enable him. Also all of the other annti-vaxx and other shitheads who all get a free pass for spreading misinformation that harms children.
They were clearly referring to a widespread problem of which captain brain worms is one example.
rofl the brain worms claim another victim…
Republicans only care about children that aren’t born (i.e. aren’t children) yet.
Republicans have never been ‘pro-life’, only pro-birth.
Pre-natal? They care so, so much!
Pre-school? You’re fucked (metaphorically and, depending on the republican, possibly literally - just ask ol’ Dennis)
Well, they’re not fetuses so conservatives don’t care.
Don’t be fooled. Caring about fetuses has never been about the fetus, but about controlling women.
Oh, I’m well aware.
Who would give him trouble? His boss rutinely hangs out with child abusers and could very well be one himself.
