Trump asks vaccine skeptic RFK Jr. to lead study on vaccine safety

President-elect Donald Trump asked Robert
F. Kennedy Jr., an environmental activist and
skeptic of vaccines, to chair a presidential
commission on vaccine safety, Kennedy said
Tuesday.
The two have questioned whether vaccines
cause autism, a claim consistently debunked
by medical professionals across the board.
The commission will be designed "to make
sure we have scientific integrity in the
vaccine process for efficacy and safety
effects," Kennedy told reporters after the
meeting with Trump.
Kennedy said Trump requested the meeting,
and the president-elect "has some doubts
about the current vaccine policies and he has
questions about it. His opinion doesn't
matter, but the science does matter and we
ought to be reading the science and we
ought to be debating the science."
Kennedy said Trump is "very pro-vaccine, as
am I," but wants to maker sure "they're as
safe as they possibly can be."
In March 2014 — before he became a
presidential candidate — Trump said on
Twitter: "Healthy young child goes to doctor,
gets pumped with massive shot of many
vaccines, doesn't feel good and changes -
AUTISM. Many such cases!"
