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.
Oh look RFK is getting people nearly killed. Who could have seen this coming?
More importantly, look how no one is getting into trouble for endangering children.
When the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services says to do a thing for your child’s health, how would you go about proving abuse? They’re literally following government “guidelines”.
If these idiots kill their children out of ignorance and stupidity, power to 'em. I lost all empathy for idiots during COVID. No one can ask me to give a shit any longer. And yes, fuck their kids too. This is Darwinism in action. Let it ride.
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)
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?
rofl the brain worms claim another victim…
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.
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.
Maybe Sirhan Sirhan should’ve hit the kid rather than the father.
theres no confusion, his worms know what they are doing.
Definitely not the people of American Samoa.
Edit: It’s interesting that RFK Jr is now only briefly mentioned in the body of that article, but several of the source links at the bottom explicitly reference him in their titles.
Oh, he’s getting people killed. Again.
