"Robert F. Kennedy Jr, who oversees the health of more than 340 million
Americans, says vitamin A can prevent the worst effects of measles rather than
urging more people to get vaccinated.
In an opinion piece for
Fox News, the US health secretary said he was “deeply
concerned” about the current measles outbreak in Texas. However, he said the
decision to vaccinate was a “personal one” and something for parents to discuss
with their health-care provider.
Kennedy mentioned updated advice from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to
treat measles with vitamin A. He also cited a study he said shows vitamin A can
reduce the risk of dying from measles.
Here’s what the vitamin A study actually says and why public health officials
are so concerned about Kennedy’s latest statement."
