Texas kids treated for vitamin A toxicity after RFK Jr. said the supplement fights measles
Some children sickened in the West Texas measles outbreak are now facing another health issue — toxic levels of vitamin A. Last Week, Covenant Children's Hospital in Lubbock told Texas Public Radio that its staff was treating 10 children suffering from complications caused by measles and exacerbated by abnormal liver function caused by elevated levels of Vitamin A. The incidents follow Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. requiring the Centers for Disease Control to update its measles guidance to promote the use of vitamin A, according to both TPR and Texas news site the Barbed Wire. Kennedy, a high-profile vaccine skeptic, earlier this month ordered the CDC to recommend the vitamin supplement as a means to manage measles symptoms.
