Experts . . . again . . .

Vitamins help with immunity but the vaccine is effective.
Here’s the problem: Experts. The politicalization of medicine circa 2020. Are these experts telling us what their intellect, experiments and scholarship requires them to tell us or is it Orange Man Bad? Me? I’d bet upon the latter.
My father worked in shipping and always came home with a cold or something and my mother started giving him a multi vitamin everyday and the colds stopped ,LOL
Big Pharma has the experts, doctors, etc wrapped around their fingers. Why? Getting Kick backs.
Don't forget the minerals.
RFK Jr is to the healthcare industry ‘professionals’ what Trump is to democrats. Anything he says or does, has to be opposed, even if it’s for the good of the country.
That’s not to say I agree with everything RFK does or says, but opposing him just to oppose Trump indirectly, is foolish.
RFK: “Take your vitamins.”
Experts: “This is madness!”
This from the article is concerning.And this is not RFK jr saying it
“Previous research published in the International Journal of Epidemiology has shown that vitamin A, in conjunction with the measles vaccine, can be an effective intervention in preventing measles mortality in children.”????????
So the vaccine alone is not effective in preventing mortality?????
Experts: "Safe and effective"
Does Vitamin A prevent measles?
The claim:
Our burgeoning measles outbreaks have spread the old rumor that Vitamin A prevents measles and that sanitation and nutrition are responsible for bringing down measles deaths before we had a vaccine to prevent it.
The facts:
While measles deaths can be prevented with better access to medical care and nutrition, two doses of MMR vaccine can prevent around 98% of measles cases. Before the measles vaccine in 1964, nearly all children got measles before the age of 15. And even then, 500-600 children died annually.
While sanitation is an important part of public health, it has very little impact on measles, a respiratory virus so contagious that it can remain airborne for up to 2 hours after an infected person leaves the area and infect 9 out of 10 susceptible people.
Vitamin A plays an important role in the immune system, but its levels can drop during an infection, making it harder for the body to absorb and use. If someone has measles, a doctor may prescribe Vitamin A to help stabilize these levels. However, taking too much Vitamin A when it’s not needed won’t provide any benefits and can actually be dangerous.

Once you are exposed to measles, no vaccine is going to help you.
Vitamin A has been used to treat measles for ages. It’s not optimum-the vaccine is—but its better than nothing.
Wait. You have to see a doctor to use vitamin A? But the AMA sez that vitamins are next to worthless and all maladies have to be treated with drugs. So confusing.
Measles vaccine is effective. After 1963 when everyone used to get it vaccination made it practically non-existent. A number of kids weren’t vaccinated more recently because it wasn’t a threat. Illegal immigration brought it back in to the US and kids who aren’t vaccinated are at risk of getting it.
I know the article is a lie because it is the MSM writing about RFKjr. Proper nutrition has a lot to do with the body’s ability to build up the immune system making resistance and recovery from disease easier. This is not an substitute for vaccination.
It is a basic truth that the healthier you are the less likely a disease is going to be catastrophic. People used to know this along with the benefits of fresh air, sunshine, basic sanitation, and enough sleep.
“RFK Jr. noted that while there is no approved antiviral for measles, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a statement last week supporting the administration of vitamin A under physician supervision as supportive care.”
I must have missed where he told people to use Vitamin A as a substitute for the vaccine. Supportive care means just that. It is used to support other care given to prevent measles. That would be the vaccine. It also refers to care given to those who have contracted the measles to aid in their recovery.
Excess vitamin A can cause depression, and if one has excess, fixing it takes a long time. Months or even years.
