Texas DSHS trying to have its Brainworm Bobby cake and eat it too on measles

US measles cases are now over 700, with more than 500 in Texas, and the outbreaks in New Mexico and Oklahoma, and at least part of that now in Kansas, all traceable to Gaines County, Texas. 

And, ugh. DSHS is trying to cozy up to Brainworm Bobby while keeping its distance at the same time. Its latest statement on the outbreak warns about Vitamin A toxicity while saying that a "healthcare provider" can still recommend it as part of "supportive therapy." 

Who's a "healthcare provider"? What is "supportive therapy"? Those are Mack Truck sized loopholes.
