Using cod liver oil, budesonide, or clarithromycin for measles is like pushing ivermectin or hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19—unproven and dangerous.
Measles care means supportive treatment, seizure meds for encephalitis, and antibiotics for bacterial complications.
Misinformation costs lives.

North Carolina was one of the first States to institute a mask ban.

Small reminder that action works: GDF announced a new price for bedaquiline: $90 per treatment, a 54% reduction since Aug 2023. Thx to @tbfighters.org for joining the fight!
Bdq price is now in the target range ($48-102 ) estimated in 2017, and considered wildly unrealistic by naysayers.

🚨Measles mounts in an undervaccinated Texas county. Hospitalizations & 9 cases. Many more expected.
This may be the first big outbreak of 2025 but probably not the last, with vaccine misinformation espoused at the highest levels of government.
