Trump: RFK Jr. Will Study Possible Link Between Childhood Vaccines and Autism

California Autism

In a Dec. 8 interview with Meet The Press, Trump remarked that autism cases have increased in recent decades. When asked if Kennedy would explore the issue, Trump said he is “open to anything.”

“When you look at some of the problems, when you look at what’s going on with disease and sickness in our country, something’s wrong,” Trump said. “I think somebody has to find out. If you go back 25 years ago, you had very little autism. Now you have it.”

As readers of this Substack are aware, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has long been concerned about the possible link between childhood vaccines and autism. He found it especially notable that the incidence of autism began to rise rapidly in the late 1980s, shortly after the passage of the 1986 National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, which granted vaccine manufacturers immunity from all civil and criminal liability for injuries or deaths caused by their products.
