Trump, RFK Jr. to Address Childhood Diseases, Citing Autism Rate Increase and Vaccine Safety Concerns

Dec 8, 2024, 03:58 PM

Former President Donald Trump has announced a new initiative to address childhood diseases, which includes a potential reevaluation of childhood vaccination programs. In a recent Meet the Press interview, Trump stated that he would consider eliminating certain vaccines if they are found to be harmful to children. He emphasized the need for further investigation into vaccine safety, citing an increase in autism rates, from 1 in 10,000 to 1 in 100, as a concern. Trump also mentioned that some vaccines are "incredible," but others may not be as beneficial. This initiative will involve collaboration with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has been a vocal critic of certain vaccination practices. The plan aims to address what Trump describes as a chronic disease epidemic among children.
