West Texas children treated for vitamin A toxicity as medical disinformation spreads alongside measles outbreak
Medical disinformation connected to the West Texas measles outbreak has created a new problem. Children are being treated for toxic levels of vitamin A.
As it is unlikely to get Vitamin A poisoning from food, I assume would have to take too many supplements (alot of which are synthetic). Refuse to put this stuff in your body, but uses this other stuff instead. SMDH
Or maybe they are dining solely on polar bear liver 24/7
You don't understand. Vitamin A isn't a chemical. /s
Hey we've been taking vitamins for decades now, they've been proven safe!
Wait
It's funny how not knowing the details of an issue can cause problems, eh? It's almost like we need to have some people around, who spend a lot of time learning about how the body works, and then can tell us the best ways to go about keeping ourselves healthy. We could give them a name even. How about doctors?
Nah, that's just crazy.
tbf, some of these people probably can't afford to see a real doctor.
Tbf, the federal government (RFK) is actually encouraging people to do this.

I know it's not good for everything. But for anyone that doesn't know, Teladoc is $89/visit without insurance and has a video call option. So they can get you medication/treatment for just about any issue. They just can't prescribe controlled substances.
No, we should all Do yOuR oWn rEsEaRcH. And by research, I mean, following the likes of Bobby Brainworm, donvict, and random social media influencers peddling bullshit and duckfaces.
Boy can you imagine if congress was stupid enough to appoint an anti-vax nutjob who dumps bear carcasses in Central Park to be in charge if health
It seems odd to me that they refer to the number of children treated as "fewer than 10".
Why can't they say how many?
Crazy idea here. Maybe listen to your doctor, not the people on social media or cable news who are chasing engagement?
Should I listen to the head of the federal health department who suggests this treatment?

I said when Bobby Brainworms was confirmed that he might end up killing more people than even donvict did in his first term - remember, donvict killed more Americans than any other person in history already. Having a complete fraud and scam artist like Bobby Brainworms in charge is going to lead lots of low-info people to do very, very stupid things. If he causes herd immunity to drop even further, it's going to be bad, possibly worse than the death count donvict did the first term....and that's without something catastrophic like bird flu jumping human to human....
If these parents had only just watched episode 1 of Ameku MD: Doctor Detective, streaming now, they would have known that vitamin A toxicity is serious.
Who are these fucks? I will call fucking CPS daily on these bastards!
Republicans
I'd like to call CPS on that motherfucker Bobby Brainworm if I had the least notion that they'd do anything.
Hypervitaminosis A can literally result in Coma or Death.
Don't forget desquamation (skin peeling)!
Something something rabbits?
This country is full up with fucking idiots.
Swapping this bullshit over here for that bullshit over there so fast it’s a dead kid three-card monte
Been around the world and found
That only stupid people are breeding
The cretins cloning and feeding
And don't even own a TV..
Bobby Brainworm in charge of the health department is about as logical as watching "On Golden Pond" to learn how to rebuild an engine transmission.
Fucking retarded.
In Texas, you say
