News West Texas children treated for vitamin A toxicity as medical disinformation spreads alongside measles outbreak
The rest of this is from my comment on my Ovarit post on the same topic:
Some hospitals give vitamin A, but very carefully dosed, not the way parents are apparently giving it to their kids and causing the toxicity. A local doctor in the Texas county at the center of that state's outbreak opened a clinic to give vitamin A and other treatments (the article doesn't specify whether at safe or unsafe dosages)

At least some healthcare facilities have NOT stocked up or given vitamin A despite RFK Jr. pushing it and saying the Fed would provide it. Thank goodness for actual trained medical personnel who still have a brain and a spine.

People need to stop listening to RFK Jr. and others like him, at least where their children's health is concerned. If adults want to be stupid amongst themselves, that's their health to gamble with. Some day when this insanity is over, RFK Jr. and everyone involved with appointing him, and others like him who spread and facilitate dangerous medical misinformation, need to be prosecuted - for what they've done and are doing and will continue to do until they're stopped.
