In a recent interview with “Meet the Press,” President-elect Donald Trump announced that his nominee for the Department of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., will investigate any potential links between childhood vaccines and autism.
When asked if he would like to see childhood vaccines eliminated, Trump responded, “If they’re dangerous for the children… something’s wrong.” He also expressed concern over the rise in autism cases, stating, “Autism was almost non-existent 25 years ago, and now it’s close to one in 100. What’s happening?”
Trump revealed that he recently invited leaders from drug companies to Mar-a-Lago for a discussion with Kennedy about vaccines, and that his pick for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Dr. Mehmet Oz, was also in attendance.
While Trump expressed openness to some of Kennedy’s vaccine skepticism, he also praised the polio vaccine as “the greatest thing” and acknowledged that “certain vaccines are incredible.” He stressed the importance of finding out the truth about potentially harmful vaccines.
However, Kennedy has faced criticism for his views on vaccines in the past. In a 2023 interview on “The Breakfast Club,” he encouraged people to do their own research and not blindly trust the CDC or their doctors. Kennedy also wrote a book linking the rise in autism to a preservative in vaccines, despite numerous studies disproving this theory.
Despite these critics, Trump has chosen to stand by Kennedy and investigate the potential dangers of childhood vaccines.
The liberal media has downplayed any concerns about the safety of vaccines, citing the retracted 1998 study by Dr. Andrew Wakefield and the CDC’s claims that thimerosal has been reduced or eliminated from vaccines. However, the rates of autism continue to rise, suggesting that there may be more to the issue than the media would lead us to believe.

In the end, it is up to individuals to educate themselves and make informed decisions about the safety of vaccines. And with Kennedy and Trump leading the way, we may finally get to the truth about their potential risks.
