Summary

Donald Trump plans to discuss potentially ending childhood vaccination programs with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., his nominee for Health and Human Services.

Trump expressed openness to revisiting vaccine policies, citing concerns about autism rates, despite scientific consensus debunking links between vaccines and autism.

Critics warn reducing vaccinations could lead to outbreaks of preventable diseases like measles.

Kennedy, known for questioning vaccine safety, would oversee the CDC if confirmed.

Public health experts remain concerned about the implications.

      I agree with everything you said except that all the blame lies with Trump and Russian/Chinese disinfo campaigns. This has been going on since the Tea Party George W Bush/Cheney Newt Gingrich Reagan probably before anybody reading this was born
