Zerohedge had an epic takedown of this bullshit. From the article:

*“Several patients have been found to have abnormal liver function” somehow equals “vitamin A toxicity due to misinformation,” according to CNN and their crack Expert™ sources.
But, one discovers easily, viral infection itself — along with dozens of other potential culprits — causes abnormal liver tests.
Via JHEP Reports:
“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.”
Furthermore, there are specific blood tests to check for vitamin A levels aside from liver function tests.
Why didn’t the hospital run these tests to determine if the alleged liver abnormalities were actually caused by vitamin A overdose rather than a viral infection itself or any other of a dozen potential causes?
Via Healthline:
“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.”
A very cursory web search, for the record, turns up a cornucopia of research and recommendations from the medical associations — ones that the corporate media would typically hold up as godlike authorities — regarding the usefulness of vitamin A for treating measles.
Via National Foundation For Infectious Diseases:
“The management of patients with measles also includes provision of vitamin A for reducing complications and mortality. Vitamin A deficiency affects the severity of measles, delays recovery, can lead to measles-related complications, including blindness, and is associated with a higher rate of deaths. Vitamin A has been recommended for decades by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the World Health Organization (WHO) for hospitalized children with measles. However, recent studies show that vitamin A has not been used appropriately to treat US children with measles—either by not using vitamin A at all or by using insufficiently low doses.”
******
So not only has Vitamin A long been recognized as a key to treating measles, those patients with low levels of Vitamin A face the worst outcomes. Just as with Covid, those patients who died, had one near universal thing about them. Astonishingly low levels of Vitamin D.
Dear Chinchilla, to quote a certain poster here, FUCK YOU'RE DUMB.
