As measles in Texas West Texas continues to increase, the response of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the US Minister of Health and Welfare, depends greatly on the treatment of vitamin A, and is largely due to the use of steroids Budeshosoades, antibiotics claritromycin and Daegu oil. Dependent.
Doctors say that this messaging can escape from efforts to increase vaccinations, and some wrong information about these treatments is already circulating online.
Many American doctors who declared that they were eliminated in this country in 2000 have never seen measles. In particular, there are no antiviral drugs to treat measles infections.
Dr. Megan Ranney, Dean of Yale Public Health Health Health, said, “Vitamin A can’t replace vaccinations.
Vitamin A It is important for vision and immunity. that World Health Organization It is recommended for all children and adults who have been diagnosed with measles. . Guidelines of US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Center In addition, vitamin A should be given to children with serious measles such as children who are admitted, and they must specify the dose according to age.
at Opinion Kennedy was published on Fox News on Sunday research Vitamin A can dramatically reduce measles mortality. In an interview with Fox News on Tuesday, Kennedy explained how the CDC was on the ground in West Texas, Texas, and discussed the use of Daegu liver with a large amount of vitamin A and D.
But vitamin A is most useful for measles support for patients with certain deficiency. This study mainly leads to evidence of low -income countries where tribes are common.
Dr. Amesh Adalja, senior scholar of Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security Center, said, “This is actually valid information.
“Vitamin A supplements can save life for measles when vitamin A deficiency exists.” In this case, strengthen the immune system when providing a response to the virus.
But in the context of the United States, Dr. Peter Hotesz, the co -director of the “weak” Texas Children’s Hospital Vaccine Development Center, and the Dean of the National Tropical College of Medicine, Baylor College of Medicine.
Vitamin A said, “In the current discussion of West Texas measles infectious diseases, we do not actually play a lot of roles because we are vaccinating our children because we are distracted by what we need to focus on.”
Beyond the updated CDC guidelines for vitamin A, the US is generally rare, so there is no set treatment therapy for measles. One of Kennedy’s drugs, an antibiotic claritromycin, may be an attempt to prevent secondary bacterial infections such as pneumonia evidence It is limited. Budesonide is a steroid with a variety of purposes, but it’s not clear how it can help people with measles.
“It is really important not to promote support for support for support for measles or support for measles,” said Dr. Christina Jones, an emergency doctor of pediatricians in Anapolis, Maryland. “There is no treatment for measles.”
“I think it’s very clear and very important to speak directly about treatment.
American Pediatrics Academy Announced opinion Last week, vitamin A is trying to fight wrong information to prevent measles.
Dr. Leslie Motheral, a pediatrician of Texas Rubuck, said, “Vitamin A is only recommended for inpatients and is recommended only in certain doses. “I want to be very clear about it because I think there is a patient who gives children a high dose vitamin A without vaccination.”
Motheral has begun to see the wrong information about vitamin A on social media and wants to inform people that it cannot be used as measles. Excessive amounts of vitamin A may be dangerous.
“As a pediatrician … we learn about vitamin A toxicity. But now we have to make sure that these patients are watching these things,” she said.
Vitamin A toxicity You can cause vomiting, nausea, blurry vision, muscle weakness, liver damage and potential brain damage.
According to the Texas Health Service, West Texas’s reclamation has been in 159 cases as of Tuesday. Many people are in Gainz County and some have not been vaccinated, including the Meno Night community. Children of school age who were not vaccinated died. Experts say the number of incidents is probably much larger than reported.
Some Texas residents have decided to be vaccinated, and experts give access to good information.
People who choose vaccinations are Dr. Katherine Wells, the director of LubBoc Public Health and Dr. Katherine Wells, Dr. Phil Huang, director of the health and human service director of Dallas County. there is. opinion Today’s sculptures of the United States.
Kennedy, with the history of the anti -assistant movement, rarely mentioned vaccinations. He did not explicitly recommend the vaccine as his opinion on Fox News, and admitted that he could contribute to the “community exemption” by making a decision to vaccine “personal people.”
He understands that in Tuesday’s interview, he recommends that we recommend, but there are many distrust of the vaccine in a community that is not vaccinated like Mennonites. ”
