His suggested treatment for measles - vitimin A or cod liver oil - has been particularly harmful.
Measles itself can often cause "immune amnesia;" a phenomenon where measles infection can temporarily suppress or even erase the immune system's memory of previous infections and vaccinations, leaving individuals more vulnerable to other illnesses for a period of several months up to years.
So the children treated according to RFK Jr's advice can end up with (1) a nasty measles fever including dangerously low blood oxygen levels, (2) vitamin A toxicity, and (3) re-infection by other nasty diseases due to immune amnesia.
KIDS, the MMR vaccine is FAR safer!!
As a measles outbreak spreads across the United States, doctors are now seeing a new and unexpected danger: Children getting sick from taking too much vitamin A.
At Covenant Children’s Hospital in Lubbock, Texas, several unvaccinated children showed signs of liver problems after taking large amounts of vitamin A, according to Dr. Lara Johnson, the hospital’s chief medical officer.
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has promoted vitamin A during the outbreak, even suggesting it might help prevent measles. But doctors say this isn’t true.
