The death of a New Mexico adult comes eight days after a 6-year-old child succumbed to the disease in Texas last week.

An unvaccinated New Mexico adult who tested positive for measles has died, the second death in a growing measles outbreak centered along the West Texas-New Mexico border, officials said Thursday.

The individual did not seek medical care before death, New Mexico health department officials said. The official cause of death is still under investigation by New Mexico’s Office of the Medical Investigator. However, the state health department scientific laboratory has confirmed the presence of the measles virus in the person, the state health department said.

Am I missing something? Isnˋt that just a traditional remedy for vitamin D deficiency? (And, well, I guess it also has decently healthy fatty acids and some other nutrients)

Kennedy has begun promoting the use of vitamin A, cod liver oil and the steroid budesonide as a way of treating measles

I could practically hear the sadness and disappointment in that "oh," and I feel exactly the same way.

I got an argument about this particular one. They don’t seem to understand that there’s a difference between being malnourished leading to having a vitamin A deficiency causing immune system issues, and vaccines. They’re reading a study from more than a century going that fixing malnutrition lowered the death rate of measles and take a “If fixing vitamin A deficiency reduced deaths, you can just macro dose it and cure measles!” Which is absolutely stupid and did not pan out in future research and is, in fact, dangerous as well.
