Kennedy Jr. on Sunday said President Trump “certainly” wants him to investigate perceived links between autism and vaccines.
Kennedy made the remark during a heated interview with CNN’s Dana Bash on “State of the Union,” when Bash asked if the Wall Street Journal was accurate in reporting that Trump wants Kennedy to “probe the link.”
Bash pressed on about why HHS does not study potential causes of autism after establishing that experts have “studied this for 25 years and found no link between autism and vaccines.” Kennedy attempted to address Tylenol, which the Trump administration late last year linked to autism, as an example of the work at HHS before Bash, as Kennedy remarked, began rolling her eyes.
“I am because I don’t want to have you use our air to say this,” Bash said. “There have been more than 40 studies involving 5.6 million people to conclude there is no link between vaccines and autism,” she continued, citing the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Committee on Infectious Diseases.
