As Measles Spreads, Kennedy Embraces Remedies Like Cod Liver Oil

[douglas9]

As a measles outbreak expands in West Texas, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health and human services secretary, on Tuesday cheered several unconventional treatments, including cod liver oil, but again did not urge Americans to get vaccinated.

In a prerecorded interview that aired on Fox News, Mr. Kennedy said that the federal government was shipping doses of vitamin A to Gaines County, the epicenter of the outbreak, and helping to arrange ambulance rides.

H.H.S. officials previously said they were shipping doses of the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine to Texas, but Mr. Kennedy did not discuss vaccination.

Texas doctors had seen “very, very good results,” Mr. Kennedy claimed, by treating measles cases with a steroid, budesonide; an antibiotic called clarithromycin; and cod liver oil, which he said had high levels of vitamin A and vitamin D.

6. and too much cod liver oil, (vitamin A), can also cause liver damage and other issues. As for clarithromycin, someone

should point out to that idiot that measles is a virus, and the only thing antibiotic use will do is possible make someone resistant to it if they use it indiscriminately.

Hey, dumbfuck. Vitamins A and D are not water soluble, meaning one can easily overdose on them. Which is going to happen A LOT when ignorant parents start funneling cod liver oil or vitamin supplements down their kids' gobs, because they think that the more you give, the better. Jeezus. Fucking. Chryste.
