Robert F. Kennedy Jr., president-elect Donald Trump’s choice to head the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), would look into any possible connections.
Between childhood immunizations and autism, he told Kristen Welker of “Meet the Press” in an interview that aired on Friday and Sunday.
Welker questioned Trump on Kennedy’s views on kid vaccinations and inquired as to whether he wanted to see them phased out. Trump said, “If they’re dangerous for the kids.”
“Something is wrong when you look at some of the issues, when you look at what’s happening with disease and sickness in our country.” “Are you referring to autism?” Welker inquired.
Going back twenty-five years, autism was almost nonexistent, occurring in one out of every 100,000 people. It’s almost one out of 100 presently. I mean, what’s going on? Trump enquired.
Trump lauded other vaccinations while acknowledging that he was receptive to some of Kennedy’s vaccine concerns.
