    “Misleads” fuck this soft shoe, “rfk Jr falsely claims something will work that won’t”

    I know saying “lies” is hard for reporters due to lible claims, but fucking say it’s wrong at least.

      And probably a very interesting way to spread the knowledge that yes, you can overdose on vitamins.

      Worse actually. Vitamin A is easy to overdose on, it’s a fat-soluble vitamin, and people have died from vitamin A toxicity. So they now have both the risk of serious complications and/or death from measles, and the risk of serious complications and/or death from vitamin A toxicity.

    It feels like we’re about 5 minutes away from RFK Jr recommending injecting each other with …I dunno…artisanal organic chlorine bleach or something.

    What about HCQ and horse dewormer, Bobby Brainworms, huh? Are you trying to cover up the real measles cure?

    Unlike vitamin C, vitamin A is fat-soluble and overdose can result in death. Vitamin A deficiency is rare in developed countries so what he’s suggesting is that people risk poisoning themselves with no proven benefit for measles.

    The CDC in the past has not done a good job at quantifying the risk of vaccines — we are going to do that now

    Politicians are not scientists. Scientists understand what they are not, but it would seem like politicians such as RFK Jr are struggling with this.
