In an effort to smear HHS Secretary RFK Jr. and his agency’s response to the measles outbreak allegedly caused by vaccine refusal — even though the Secretary has already bent the knee and endorsed vaccination — the corporate state media is now pushing the line that unvaxxed kids are showing up to the hospital with vitamin A toxicity.
The evidence of misinformation-induced vitamin A toxicity?
ONE lone doctor at an ultra-large hospital system (the worst kind to rely on for factual health information) and alleged abnormal liver function tests.

Via CNN (emphasis added):
Doctors treating people hospitalized as part of a measles outbreak in Texas and New Mexico have also found themselves facing another problem: vitamin A toxicity.
At Covenant Children’s Hospital in Lubbock, near the outbreak’s epicenter, several patients have been found to have abnormal liver function on routine lab tests, a probable sign that they’ve taken too much of the vitamin, according to Dr. Lara Johnson, pediatric hospitalist and chief medical officer for Covenant Health-Lubbock Service Area…
US Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy has centered his response to the outbreak on vitamin A, even suggesting in a Fox News interview that it could work “as a prophylaxis.”
That phrasing struck me as a little odd. Liver tests as the sole basis for a vitamin A toxicity diagnosis?
So I dug around a little bit and discovered that the foundational test for vitamin A toxicity is… shocker… a blood test for circulating vitamin A, not a liver test.
Liver tests may be used as auxiliary diagnostic methods, but they are not the primary way the condition is diagnosed.
Via Healthline (emphasis added):
Hypervitaminosis A can be diagnosed using blood tests to check your vitamin A levels. Most people improve simply by decreasing their intake of vitamin A…
Your doctor will start by asking you about your symptoms and medical history. They’ll also want to know about your diet and any supplements you’re taking.
Your doctor may order blood tests to check the levels of vitamin A in your blood as well.
Almost anything can cause abnormal liver function —including viral infections themselves.
Via JHEP Reports (emphasis added):
Several mechanisms may explain liver biochemical abnormalities during non-hepatotropic viral infection, but the leading theory is that liver injury is immune mediate, resulting from molecular mimicry between viral and hepatocyte antigens..
Abnormal liver tests correlate well with low albumin levels as well as with other markers of disease severity, such as CRP and that in most infected patients with abnormal liver tests, the impairment is mild and is not virus specific.
The beached sea mammal from hell, Peter Hotez, though, apparently couldn’t suss out the holes in the narrative or be bothered to offer any nuance whatsoever — probably because his fame and position depend on parroting industry talking points.

As a side note, which I am very honored to report, I had to find a creative workaround to access that Hotez post above because he has blocked me on my primary X account.
