Kennedy Jr., his nominee for Secretary of Health and Human Services, amid concerns about vaccine safety and autism. If you look at things that are happening, there’s something causing it.” When asked if this discussion could lead to changes in vaccination policies, Trump responded, “It could if I think it’s dangerous, if I think they are not beneficial, but I don’t think it’s going to be very controversial in the end.” He emphasized his respect for Kennedy’s views, noting, “I’m going to be listening to Bobby.” Kennedy, known for his skepticism toward vaccines, has previously linked them to autism—a claim widely debunked by scientific research. Organisations like Autism Speaks affirm that “vaccines do not cause autism.” Public health experts, including former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb, warn that reducing vaccination rates could lead to outbreaks of diseases like measles.
