West Texas measles outbreak doubles to 48 cases

[MichaelKeller99]

While there is no specific antiviral treatment for measles, the World Health Organization recommends two doses of vitamin A be administered by a health care professional 24 hours apart for children and adults with measles. The supplement restores low vitamin A levels that can occur even in well-nourished children and can help prevent eye damage and blindness.

Many U.S. experts concur with administering vitamin A to all children in the United States with measles, regardless of hospitalization status, according to the AAP Red Book. *

Because in MOST areas measles spreads, malnourishment and Vitamin A deficiency are COMMON.

But NOT in the USA.

Conclusions: Among these children with measles in an urban United States community, retinol concentrations were depressed, and the degree of depression was associated with illness severity. Vitamin A therapy should be considered for children with measles in the United States who require hospitalization.

Unvaccinated, you say...???!!!

At what point does MichaelKeller suggest also placing leeches on children with measles... that was always a good strategy too.

Non-vaccination accountability is a bitch. Best wishes if any are kids. And if they are adults... see the first sentence

Add Florida( and other states) to the list...They say the number in Texas is up to 159 cases

If they are not vaccinated because of choice let them suffer. Let your immune system handle it. No insurance, no hospitals, deal with it yourself.

(Per CDC) Under a physician's supervision, children with severe measles, such as those who are hospitalized, should be managed with vitamin A.

Vitamin A in Children Hospitalized for Measles in a High-income Country​

Abstract​

Background: Worldwide medical authorities recommend vitamin A supplementation for severe measles requiring hospitalization; however, evidence supporting its use in high-income countries is lacking. A nationwide vitamin A shortage reported in concomitance with a recent measles outbreak in Italy provided an opportunity to test the effectiveness of vitamin A in a high-income setting, approximating an unbiased allocation.
Methods: We conducted a prospective controlled cohort study involving children admitted for measles to a tertiary-care hospital in Southern Italy. The primary outcome was the duration of fever. Secondary outcomes included the length of hospitalization, rate of complications, need for antibiotic treatment and body temperature.
Results: A total of 108 inpatient children (36% female, median age 16.3 months) were enrolled; 36 received 2 doses of oil-based vitamin A according to age, and 72 matched controls received standard care. There were no significant differences between the study groups in the duration of fever (7.03 ± 2.67 vs. 6.82 ± 3.27, P = 0.72), length of hospitalization (median, 5.0 vs. 5.0 days, P = 0.50), maximum body temperature (median, 39°C in both groups, P = 0.23), rate of organ (69.4% vs. 63.9%, P = 0.72) and hematologic complications (41.7% vs. 59.7%, P = 0.12), or need for antibiotic treatment (66.7% vs. 61.1%, P = 0.72). Overall, vitamin A supplementation did not reduce the risk of any complications (relative risk, 1.33; 95% confidence intervals: 0.59-2.96).
Conclusion: Vitamin A does not change the clinical course of measles infection or the rate of complications in children hospitalized in a high-income country.

Take it up with the WHO, CDC and AAP.

Take it up with the WHO

WHO is making recommendations for NON-RICH countries.

Absent an actual nutritional deficiency, Vitamin A is worthless.

Just like ivermectin was worthless for Covid - they ONLY reason they identified a possible signal was discovered to be for countries where "parasitic infections" were endemic. And the ivermectin cured the worms, making Covid outcomes better for people that had worms.

if you didnt' have worms, it was useless.

You're lying or you're stupid.

All children or adults with measles should receive two doses of vitamin A supplements, given 24 hours apart. This restores low vitamin A levels that occur even in well-nourished children. It can help prevent eye damage and blindness. Vitamin A supplements may also reduce the number of measles deaths.

Measles remains one of the leading causes of death among young children globally, despite the availability of a safe and effective vaccine.

I don't care what you're pointing out; the World Health Organization, the Centers for Disease Control and the American Academy of Pediatrics all directly contradict you.

You're not a doctor or a medical expert, and the study you posted carries no weight since it wasn't conducted by immunologists and epidemiologists with PhD's in their field (your rules, not mine).

Yeah...about that.

An outbreak of measles occurred in a high school with a documented vaccination level of 98 per cent. Nineteen (70 per cent) of the cases were students who had histories of measles vaccination at 12 months of age or older and are therefore considered vaccine failures. Persons who were unimmunized or immunized at less than 12 months of age had substantially higher attack rates compared to those immunized on or after 12 months of age. Vaccine failures among apparently adequately vaccinated individuals were sources of infection for at least 48 per cent of the cases in the outbreak. There was no evidence to suggest that waning immunity was a contributing factor among the vaccine failures.

Someone doesn't read his own links:

The outbreak subsided spontaneously after four generations of illness in the school and demonstrates that when measles is introduced in a highly vaccinated population, vaccine failures may play some role in transmission but that such transmission is not usually sustained.

A: Having to cull the internet for 40-yr old articles that undermine your point here is a magnificent self-PWN

B: Article even states that children vaccinated at <12 months age were most likely to have incomplete immunity, which is why the vaccines are recommended at 12-15 months (and as far as I can recall, that has ALWAYS been the recommendation).

It's extremely doubtful Jesus would approve of using aborted babies in the vaccine industry.

Satan, on the other hand, would wholeheartedly recommend them.

Vaccines save lives. Jesus, even though he is fictional, (see how I have to use fairy tales because GQP members can’t decipher fairytales from reality these days), would’ve let women have autonomy over their bodies and allow for vaccines to save people from illness.

Go read a damn journal article: those already informed you that Vitamin A is useless to prevent measles complications in children.

Sure he would have.

He would not have approved of aborting babies for that sole purpose, but using available materials from an abortion for a good outcome? Absolutely.

Just like he'd approve of organ donations.
