Still not sure what my personal impact will be. Med school loans. Due to my age in the REPAYE then SAVE plan. I work at an FQHC in primary care (by choice). Without IDR I may not be able to afford to keep my job there. Plus now I'm 6 years into loan forgiveness that may just be gone.

The point of the article is that recommended and effective are not the same thing. Again, read the article. Just as parents giving their kids cod liver oil in Brooklyn to give them vitamin A is not an excuse for treatment. The only way to prevent this is vaccination. Kids die with or without vit A

You're misconstruing the recommendations. The who and the AAP recommends vitamin A supplementation and areas where there are vitamin A deficiencies as mentioned in the article. And even comment that high doses of vitamin A can be harmful. Again, the world in the US are not the same place

Because we have quacks like RFK Jr who are pushing Vitamin A supplementation as the alternative to getting vaccinated. Please know I said vaccines are medicine not vaccines or treatment. If you can't separate the two of those, then we can't have a conversation.

Did you even read the article?
And prevention is medicine. That's the point. I am a family doc the best medicine I can provide my patients is the MMR vaccine not Vitamin A
