This also came the week that President-elect Donald Trump said “There’s something wrong” about the increase in autism rates and that “we’re going to find out about it.” That earned a rebuke from Sen Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, a physician who will be chairman of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. He said, ‘People talk about this, so let's go find out.’” Trump has openly speculated about a potential link between vaccines and autism long before he ran for president. “I gather information that I'm now going to form an opinion on, and we go from there.” Tillis faces a potential primary challenge from a more conservative Republican as he faces re-election in 2026. open image in gallery Sen Roger Marshall of Kansas said he and Kennedy ‘did not speak one lick about vaccines.’ But Sen Roger Marshall of Kansas, a physician himself and a pro-Trump Republican, told reporters vaccines did not come up in their meeting. “ I talked to him a lot about vaccines, and he said, we're gonna go by the science,” Tuberville, a former college football coach, told The Independent.
