Kennedy Jr. and “State of the Union” host Dana Bash clashed Sunday during an at-times-heated discussion of studies on vaccines and autism and the need to “trust the experts.”
During a Friday cabinet meeting, President Donald Trump pressed Kennedy about investigating whether certain vaccines are linked to the neurodevelopmental disorder — which impairs social interaction and can lead to focused interests and differences in sensory processing.
Bash pressed Kennedy, claiming other studies had debunked claims that vaccines caused autism. (RELATED: ‘I’ve Had Enough, Thank You Darling’: Trump Walks Out On TV Interview)
“Now, have you talked to [Trump] about medical research that have studied this for 25 years and found no link between autism and vaccines? And just that — this is my question here, because I don’t want to litigate that, my question is … because you are HHS secretary now — why not study what could cause autism, which scientists do believe starts with fetal brain development?” Bash asked. “Why not do some studies on that … — since you’re an environmental lawyer — whether there are environmental factors that go into contributing to a predisposed genetic situation?”
