RFK Jr. tells CDC that they get into cures of false measles vitamins

In the midst of the largest measles outbreak in decades, Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Department of Health and Human Services is leading a new effort to find treatments for infectious disease for Americans who “choose not to vaccinate.”

The HHS announced on Friday that Kennedy, an outstanding theories and propaganda of anti -vaccin conspiracy, is addressing the centers for disease control and prevention to obtain more measles treatments, despite the fact that decades of research have never presented effective measles treatments, which reinforces the importance of the highly effective vaccine.

“Secretary Kennedy will enlist the entire agency to activate a scientific process to treat a series of diseases, including measles, with simple or multiple existing medications in combination with vitamins and other modalities,” said HHS spokesman Andrew Nixon, in a statement.

The directive occurs because Kennedy and department officials “recognize that some people and communities throughout the United States can choose not to vaccinate,” Nixon continued.

“This effort will imply collaboration with universities throughout the country to develop protocols, test and seek approval of the new uses of safe and effective therapies that meet the highest scientific standards,” said Nixon.

The directive occurs when Kennedy increases its promotion of a variety of treatments not tested for measles, a disease that can cause pneumonia, encephalitis, complications of pregnancy, blindness and death.

Kennedy has promoted the liver of cod with vitamin A as a possible miraculous cure for measles, but experts say that most of the studies that support vitamin A as a possible simple treatment in the eighties and nineties in the eighties in Sub -Saharan Africa, where a deficiency in that vitamin is much more frequent.

Research on the impact of vitamin A on measles in people without deficiencies remains not conclusive, but with the indication of Kennedy, some parents in western Texas, the center of the measles outbreak of 900 people, have given it to their children in high doses. Doctors in the area say that many of these children have been showing signs of liver damage, a side effect of excessive vitamin A intake A.

And on Monday, Kennedy said HHS was deploying doctors in Texas to treat measles with “sprays in Budesonide with clarithromycin and others.” It has not been shown that neither Budesonide nor clarithromycin treat measles, and suggest that its use is dangerous, said the American Academy of Pediatrics in a blunt statement last month.

“Promoting medicines to treat measles, particularly when these medications are not recommended, suggests that measles is treatable, which is not. The most important way to combat measles is through prevention with the MMR vaccine,” AAP said.

Although Kennedy has encouraged people to obtain the MMR vaccine, which is 97% effective to prevent measles first, he constantly undermines his own advice.

On Wednesday, he said without foundation that the measles vaccine “contains many debris of the aborted fetus and DNA particles.” And in a television appearance on Monday, he told parents to “do their own research” on vaccines, echoing a common chorus between anti -case skeptics.
