Parents Followed RFK Jr’s Crackpot Advice and Had to Send Their Kids to the Hospital With Yellowed Skin

Unvaccinated children with measles are experiencing complications due to an alternative treatment promoted by the anti-vaxxer in charge of our nation's healthcare.

As the New York Times reports, overuse of Vitamin A — health secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.'s purported measles cure, alongside cod liver oil, which contains the same vitamin — has led to liver damage and yellowed skin in children infected with measles.

Vaccinate your kids. No, Vitamin A does not cure or prevent measles.

I debunk the misconception that tretinoin thins the skin and explain how both tretinoin and retinoic acid stimulate collagen and elastin synthesis, reverse sun damage, strengthen the skin barrier, and thicken the dermis.

Doctors push back as parents embrace Kennedy and vitamin A in Texas measles outbreak

So we're going with placebos and things that can help a little, but not even close to as well as a vaccine, apparently.

Cod liver oil was a treatment they were using a century ago when there was no vaccine. They use Vitamin A in case patients have a vitamin deficiency, but it won't really help otherwise healthy patients, because they already have vitamin A inside them.

There is no actual cure for measles, just supportive care. A post exposure vaccination can help. You can treat symptoms and hope they get better on their own. Most people do, but some don't like the adult and child who already have.

An infectious patient traveled through Dulles Airport over the weekend and this is one of the most infectious things out there.

If you aren't sure of your vaccination status, request a titer test.

Reminder: Measles resets your immune system so you lose your immunity to other illnesses so you are likely to get sick more often. It also increases chances of some other long term health consequences. Also, sometimes people die.

Bonus, Dr. Jha is pretty upset about the RFK Jr. Anti-vaxxer conspiracy theory stuff. I wish MSNBC had posted the Ayman Mohyeldin segment where a Doctor who loves his Autistic child really went off on the debunked pseudo-science shit that attacks neurotransmitter people. There was an absolutely beautiful there is nothing wrong with autistic people moment, but MSNBC has been posting less and less Capehart and hardly any Mohyeldin for sometime. *glares hard at the bullshit going on over there involving the treatment of non-white anchors*

Blueberry  Benefits:

High antioxidant levels:

Blueberries are one of the best natural sources of antioxidants. They're thought to have the highest levels of antioxidants of any common fruit or vegetable. Antioxidants help protect against free radicals, which are harmful molecules your body makes in response to things that can damage cells.

Lower cholesterol levels:

High cholesterol is unsafe for your heart because it and other substances can build up in your arteries, which carry blood throughout your body. This process is thought to be triggered when cholesterol in your blood goes through a chemical reaction called oxidization. Antioxidants in blueberries help prevent cholesterol from being oxidized.

Lower blood pressure:

Eating blueberries regularly can help reduce high blood pressure. Plant compounds called anthocyanins, which give blueberries their color, are thought to be responsible for this benefit.

Blood sugar control:

If you have diabetes, blueberries can help you better manage your blood sugar levels. Studies have shown that eating blueberries regularly can help improve insulin sensitivity in people with type 2 diabetes.

Better digestion:

Blueberries contain dietary fiber, which helps your digestive system run smoothly.
