Robert F. Kennedy Jr. US Health and Welfare Minister recently I wrote Vitamin A can dramatically reduce measles mortality. ~ Later Someone is infected, not before.
Kennedy knows that it is a vaccine to actually prevent measles, as written in the same OP-ED. But Kennedy discussed fatal things Measles Texas West did not quickly emphasize the fact. To Fox News Texas’s health authorities use Daegu liver oil to “very good results.”
Secretariat and long -time vaccine skepticists mentioned people who were already sick as a fatal virus, not preventive measures. But his choice of words can easily confuse the problem, experts say. And at the time when accuracy is important Second death This is a tremendous point of view as the onset of the United States is reported on Thursday.
Paul Overt, director of Paul Offit of the Vaccine Training Center of the Philadelphia Children’s Hospital, said, “As the head of the US’s largest public health institution, he is the Minister of Health and Welfare. I think I’m misleading about treatment.
“There is a way to prevent vaccines using measles. “(Kennedy) is clear and crucial and it is good to be the best way for vaccines to prevent measles.”
World Health Organization Recommended Since the infection itself can deplete the body’s vitamin A store, there are two doses of vitamin A for all children or adults with measles. But the recommendation is for people who are already infected with viruses. Vitamins do not first prevent infection.
Lesley Motheral, a pediatric associate professor at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, said, “There is a wrong information about measles on social media, especially vitamin A. “Because of the wrong information, my parents are concerned that they will go to the store and buy vitamin A and provide them for preventive. Vitamin A No ~ Prevent measles. ”
Community exemption vs. personal choice
At OP-ED, Kennedy pointed out that vaccines protect individual children from measles and contribute to community exemptions. However, rather than emphasizing vaccination and promoting the effect, the decision of vaccination is a “personal decision.” Kennedy also wrote that the improvement of hygiene and nutrition removed 98%of measles before the vaccine development. While there Some evidence For this, Kennedy couldn’t share it According to In the Federal Disease Control and Prevention Center, “The extensive use of measles vaccines has greatly reduced the 20th century disease rate.”
Offit said, “It is interesting to start by talking about the importance of community immunity and talking about how to choose a personal choice.
According to the CDC’s February 28th update, most of the 164 documented measles cases in the United States until this year Vaccination. On the other hand, the science of measles, pandemic deeritis and rubella (MMR) vaccine is amazingly clear. CDC has a single MMR capacity 93% effect For measles, two doses, which are recommended courses, have a 97% effect.
William Schaffner, the medical officer of the National Foundation for Infective Diseases, said, “If all children do not have true medical contraindications, it should be positive. “I couldn’t say stronger.”
Instead, Kennedy approved vaccinations in half and effectively discussed treatment after infection. Nevertheless, experts say the secretary’s claim is desperately needed or the situation is wrong.
Research shows that children who shrink measles can often take vitamin A in developing countries that are often lacking. “But there is no clear evidence of fact in the United States,” he said, because the offit was not enough measles to guarantee such a study.
In the United States, CDC calls “the best defense” for infecting vaccination in measles. New update proposal Vitamins A. National Institute of Health as a potential support management for infants or children who are already infected. Too much Revenue vitamin A Liver damageAbove all.
Peter Hotez, a vaccine scientist and pediatrician, said, “There are many studies showing that this is a benefit of measles or not receiving much benefits, and it cannot be replaced by vaccination.”
“The most important thing for people to understand is that measles are viruses. “There is no antiviral permitted for measles.”
This includes antibiotics such as Clarithromycin and steroids budesonide, and TAN says that there is a “zero (scientific) evidence” on the effects of measles, but there are many potential risks. Tan said, “They are just pulling things out of the air and talking.”
Upheaval
Since Kennedy took office three weeks ago: two key The vaccine advisory committee meeting has been canceled. The company’s spokesman confirmed that a million dollars of governments have been suspended to test the research of millions of dollars of funds by VAXART. luck; Kennedy announced that he had planned. Review the vaccine schedule as a child; CDC has been reported stop that “Mild in the wild” Promotional campaign promoting the flu shot; And in the occurrence of bird flu, US health officials are reassessing. $ 590 million contract BIDEN administration Modern INC. helps mRNA -based bird flu vaccines, bloomberg.
Experts are not alone with their interests. On March 3, HHS, who opposed Kennedy’s confirmation, sent Kennedy to clarify Kennedy’s “Intention to Vaccine Policy.” CNN Reported.
Warren said, “This is a dangerous time for public health. “Your irresponsible and reckless efforts to undermine the country’s vaccine policy threaten to fan the flame of disaster.”
Texas is already onset A 6 -year -old child who has not been vaccinatedIt offers a dark work example around Kennedy. As of March 4, Texas Health Service Bureau was recorded. 159 cases Since the end of January, health officials will be secretly secret due to the remote and historically unknown Menonite community of Gainz County, which has been confirmed in total cases.
The second death announced on Thursday was the New Mexican adult who lived across the Lord’s border at Texas Gaines County. The cause of death is under investigation, but the New Mexican Ministry of Health Sayed Those who have not been vaccinated have been positive for measles. The person did not receive medical services before he went.
Researchers, virus scholars, and other experts say they are concerned that they will be similar to the exhibits to solve the measles problem that Kennedy’s terms increase in HHS. Repeatedly tested and demonstrated science can be avoided in favor of anti -vascular ideology, and as a result, public health may have tremendous difficulties.
‘This will be in the long run’
This is approaching when the state can affect another outbreak. Virus scholars are already tracking it Bird flu virusThey are worried that the combination of seasonal flu can bring closer to a wide range of human infections. The flu season itself The most intense for more than 10 years According to CDC data, in the United States.
Measles have been reported in nine states, but West Texas is the home of the overwhelming majority. The Menonite community is generally likely to be calculated in part because it avoids traditional health care services. It can be more serious than documentation so far.
“I think it will take a few months if you look at other articles about other outbreaks, about 75 miles away from the epicenter.” “I am preparing for not just a few days. This will work in the long run. ”
Wells said she and her staff would defend the residents not to be vaccinated yet. “I want to remind people that we have been giving us this MMR vaccine for more than 50 years. ” But the first was recorded death In 10 years, Kennedy did not make a clear recommendation for vaccination because of the virus of Texas West Texas in the virus.
Perhaps he was in his closest thing. on-EDHe wrote, “The vaccine must be able to approach everyone easily.” His department did not answer a series of questions with CDC luck, CDC confirmed the new Mexican case. HHS sends 2,000 measles to Texas health officials. Vitamin delivery A and Promising “Comprehensive support” for efforts on the ground.
All dose may be required. The result without a population that has not been vaccinated for measles?
“You are seeing it. This is happening. ”Offit says. “The last child’s death due to measles in this country 2003. It was 22 years ago. ”
The death of a child is now not even the most recent death, and it is not related to the crying outbreak for the vague Provatin message. They will not get it.
