As measles cases continue to emerge in several U.S. states, treatment and prevention are top of mind. As most infected individuals have been unvaccinated, school-aged children, U.S. health agencies have stressed the importance of receiving two doses of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine to prevent the disease.
In a recent Fox News Digital op-ed, HHS secretary RFK Jr. shared his “deep concern” about the measles outbreak and its rapid escalation. 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. 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.
RFK Jr. reiterated the importance of maintaining good nutrition and consuming various vitamins — like A, B12, C, D and E — as the “best defense against” chronic and infectious illness.

Kennedy Jr. arrives before President Donald Trump addresses a joint session of Congress at the Capitol in Washington, Tuesday, March 4, 2025.In a recent op-ed, HHS secretary RFK Jr. shared his “deep concern” about the measles outbreak and its rapid escalation.

Experts . . . again . . .
Ping
Vitamins help with immunity but the vaccine is effective.
Yes, particularly if you want autism or chronic illness for life.
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
RFK Jr. kinda reminds me of the NFL Draft and Mel Kiper. Talks a lot and all the real experts in the game have to respond seriously manner even though they don’t take him serious. Amusing.
Big Pharma has the experts, doctors, etc wrapped around their fingers. Why? Getting Kick backs.
“Yes, particularly if you want autism or chronic illness for life. “
You forgot turbo cancers, heart attacks and strokes. Well, they do ‘cure’ the chronic illness for life thing.
Yep, once again the media lies and the experts are garbage.
Experts = foot soldiers sent forth by guardians of great financial interest
Don't forget the minerals.
Doesn’t Mel Kiper get paid a lot of money as a service by teams etc.?
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.
Until all that corruption gets exposed and dealt with, there is no credibility left for the “experts”. If it’s important enough for us to have those experts, it is important enough to do what it takes to make sure they have credibility. At this point the only way to get that is to raze the old building to the ground and start over. As long as the “experts” get away with the manslaughter they’ve done, thinking people cannot consider them credible.
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?????
