RFK measles cure

What did he say that isn't true? The CDC website says the same thing, and has said the same thing before he ever showed up and said it.

Parents already have an out. There have been vaccines that I opted my kids out of here in Indiana. Does my developmentally disabled daughter really need the HPV vax? No, she doesn't.
First, the CDC has always maintained that vitamins are necessary. But they don't imply, hint or otherwise suggest that they should be used to combat measles.

Second, I was pretty clear that the manner and sequencing and what the statement left out absolutely was someone who didn't give two shits about taking measles vaccine. And he doesn't

We aren't talking about the HPV vax--we are talking about measles.

And every mother is screened for it during pregnancy. Don’t blow smoke up my rear.
You miss the point here, and you are still wrong--and likely wouldn't know anyway.

During 2016-2020, 88% of commercially insured women and 84% of Medicaid-enrolled women were tested for Hep B surface antigen. However, few than half of expected births to Hep B positive patients were identified.

You don't stop the pregnancy for Hep B-part 2 of why the vaccine is important. But again, you wouldn't know. At this point, it appears you are just playing the contrarian card without really knowing what you talking about.

And of course if a mother is tested, then they should not give their child the Hep B vaccine immediately (or at all) if they don’t wish to.

I can't believe I'm defending what that nut job has said, but I don't understand why everyone is off their rocker because of what he said. Plenty of other BS he's spewed to be upset about.

If you want to get into semantics and the order of phrases, go for it. I just think it's ridiculous to get hung up on that statement when he's said other things that are actually so far out there that only a fringe group of people agree with him.


Treatment is supportive. The WHO recommends vitamin A for all children with acute measles, regardless of their country of residence, to reduce the risk for complications. Administer vitamin A as follows:


Under the supervision of a healthcare provider, vitamin A may be administered to infants and children in the United States with measles as part of supportive management. Under a physician's supervision, children with severe measles, such as those who are hospitalized, should be managed with vitamin A.
