From The New York Times, by way of Digby:
Doctors in West Texas are seeing measles patients whose illnesses have been complicated by an alternative therapy endorsed by vaccine skeptics, including Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary.
Parents in the region have increasingly turned to unproven treatments to protect their children, many of whom are unvaccinated, against the virus. Local doctors say they have now treated a handful of children who were given so much vitamin A — which Kennedy has promoted as a near-miraculous cure for measles — that they showed signs of liver damage...

And, for the amoral braintrust who elevated him to a position of public health power, if Bobby the Younger can invoke a war on processed foods as a way to peel a few percentage points off the previously skeptical suburban Mom vote, well...
It will all be worth it.

Welcome to the weird and wonderful world of Texas, where education is deemed rather obsolete in the Texan's mind.
Texas, is the most rootin-tootin gun owning state in the Excited States, where biblical teachin tends to be the rule of law. It doesn't matter if Texas uses the heavily edited and purged King Jmaes version, cus the lord gonna come any time soon an put it all right, just send your cheque to our ministry; hallelujah brother.
This is a state, with 26 people have been executed since 2020, for politcal gratification than anything else. Can't win an election in Texas without executing someone.
Now we have a state, littered with the ignorant and religiously perverted seeing a measles epidemic and do what ever a intellectually challenged person will do, consult Dr. Jimbo's travelin medicine show, for his latest 'snake oil' tarted up as a cure all for measles and at least 5 other childhood diseases.
On top of this, you have a real loony, a Kennedy who doesn't really believe in public health and vaccines, compounding the problem, now in charge of the public's health.
The old adage is holding true for the USA; "for whom the gods wish to destroy, they make mad first".
I had the interpretation given to me from a Freedom Convoy supporter that he was “Covid Friendly”. whatever that means.? That individual came from Canadas version of Texas.
The "Freedom Convoy's" were a 'mericun' lead movement funded by the mericun interests, meant to destabilize Canada. The the "Wee P" supported this group of loons borders on treason. That the Trudeau's Liberals could not deal with it borders on grossly incompetent.
This is the same guy who vaccinated all his children. https://www.rawstory.com/he-vaccinated-all-his-children-house-democrat-blows-a-hole-in-rfk-jr-s-anti-vax-arguments-2662315856/
