Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on vitamin A for measles: recommends

In a March 2, 2025 Fox News op-ed, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. wrote that vitamin A “can dramatically reduce measles mortality,” citing CDC guidance supporting physician-supervised vitamin A for mild, moderate, and severe measles infection, per People’s reporting on the op-ed.

Kennedy’s stated reasoning is that vitamin A is a standard supportive intervention under CDC guidance. The statements drew criticism and public-health concern: a June 2026 JAMA study found that vitamin A search interest and poison-center reports surged after his statements, and America’s Poison Centers warned about overdose risks, per People and IFLScience. (This page reports Kennedy’s position; it is not medical advice. Vitamin A can be toxic in excess and should only be used under medical supervision.)
