Worse than that since you can actually kill yourself by taking too much vitamin A. It’s more like trying to treat the measles by playing Russian roulette.
Worse actually. Vitamin A is easy to overdose on, it’s a fat-soluble vitamin, and people have died from vitamin A toxicity. So they now have both the risk of serious complications and/or death from measles, and the risk of serious complications and/or death from vitamin A toxicity.
Recommending Vitamin A alone for measles is much akin to telling people to just walk it off
And probably a very interesting way to spread the knowledge that yes, you can overdose on vitamins.
Learning by dying.
Vitamin A is fat soluble, so especially problematic.
At least he’s hurting “the right people”?
I thought ‘wall it off’ was their recommendation for polio…
