Trump appoints anti-vaxxer to investigate childhood vaccines
Quote:
After meeting with President-elect Donald Trump at Trump Tower Tuesday, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. told reporters that Trump has asked him to "chair a commission on vaccination safety and scientific integrity" and that he has accepted.
Both Trump and Kennedy have spread fringe theories linking vaccines to autism in children, an idea that medical experts overwhelmingly reject and have warned is endangering public health by discouraging parents from immunizing their kids.
|
Quote:
Trump tweeted several times in 2014 that the use of multiple vaccinations caused autism, claiming at one point "the doctors lied." Doctors and researchers who specialize in infectious diseases expressed concern after Trump and other candidates promoted the theory in a Republican debate in September 2015.
|
Quote:
Autism Speaks, an organization that advocates for individuals with autism, released a statement to NBC News after Trump's meeting with Kennedy, reiterating its conclusion that vaccines were unrelated to the condition.
"Over the last two decades, extensive research has asked whether there is any link between childhood vaccinations and autism," the statement said. "The results of this research are clear: Vaccines do not cause autism."

At this point I'm really wishing Pence was in charge. This is tragic.

Jenny McCarthy's son has Landau-Kleffner Syndrome but she thinks it's autism and read a made-up paper by Andrew Wakefield (who has now admitted he falsified his findings) that linked vaccines to autism. She wrote a book about it and claimed on Larry King Live that vaccines cause autism.
To think a ****star has had this level of an effect on the top levels of our government is just
