The moral squalor of Trump has brought us back to the basics — especially understanding the importance of checks and balances and separation of powers.
Both the Republican-controlled Congress and conservative Supreme Court Seem hellbent on abdicating their duties to a tyrant.

Vitamin A can be used in active measles infections (because the virus can cause a Vitamin A deficiency).
It does not prevent infection nor does it treat or shorten the infection in any way.
When it’s used it’s not in the form of cod liver oil because that would be stupid. All of this is so stupid.
