KIDS TREATED WITH BOBBY'S PROTOCOL ARE SHOWING SIGNS OF LIVER DAMAGE.
High doses of Vitamin A and cod liver oil being given over an extended period of time is causing toxicity in some Texas children with measles.
In most cases it was given to avoid vaccination.

For Some Measles Patients, Vitamin A Remedy Supported by RFK Jr. Leaves Them More Ill (Gift Article)
After the health secretary promoted vitamin A as a cure, parents in West Texas began giving their children high doses, sometimes to prevent infection.

The ACA was cool because before the ACA EVERY SINGLE CHILD WITH CANCER hit their annual and lifetime limits almost immediately and were denied insurance for the rest of their lives and after the ACA that’s illegal.
The ACA was cool because before the ACA you could hit your lifetime maximum before you were a month old and be denied insurance for the rest of your life and after the ACA that’s illegal.

House Republicans just voted for my patients to die if they get sick.
They voted to destroy our nations's children's hospitals.
They voted for their own children to have no access to health care when there are no children's hospitals and no pediatricians.

Ya know who uses Medicaid? CHILDREN. 40 million kids are enrolled in Medicaid or CHIP. That’s half of the kids in this country. Children don’t contribute to the workforce or buy goods or vote… so no one cares.
House Republicans just voted to gut Medicaid, which covers 1 in 5 Americans overall, including 41% of births and 63% of nursing home care.
They also just voted to gut SNAP, on which 41 million food insecure Americans rely.
This won’t just harm people. This will kill people.
They own this.

There are estimated to be more than 300 people with measles infections in west Texas right now, cases have shown up in eastern New Mexico, and there are new cases in New Jersey, Alaska and at least a couple southeastern states. This is a national problem and there is no federal infrastructure for it
No word from CDC as Texas measles outbreak continues to grow. The CDC measles page hasn't been updated since Feb 7 so this outbreak isn't reflected. No MMWR report, no Health Advisory, no nothing. We are on a dangerous path.
Ten more measles cases—58 total—confirmed in Texas outbreak
The latest update includes a case from Lubbock County, pushing the number of affected counties to 5.

Because social media companies are focused on making as much $$ as possible, they often make decisions at the expense of public safety—just like the gun industry.
