Trump Administration Considers Order on Autism and Vaccines

bruh of course they are. with rfk jr at hhs this is literally the least surprising thing. the amount of dangerous misinformation that's gonna get pushed by the white house directly is gonna be WILD. like we don't already have enough problems with people not trusting science. this is so cringe and irresponsible

Bloomberg and the rest of the corporate media class have spent years telling us to "trust the science" and now they're melting down because RFK Jr. and President Trump are actually asking questions that a lot of Americans have about vaccines. Nobody has to like it but they've got every right to look at the data. We've got more kids than ever with autism and no one is allowed to even ask what's going on without being called a "conspiracy theorist." It's sick. What happened to open debate?

This is precisely the kind of decisive action we need, and it speaks volumes about President Trump's courage. For years, the scientific establishment, the mainstream media, and the pharmaceutical industry have shut down any honest discussion about vaccine safety, particularly the concerns surrounding autism. They've silenced doctors, smeared parents, and demonized anyone who dared to ask questions, labeling them "anti-science" or worse.

Charlie Kirk always spoke about this, about how the legacy media and entrenched interests work together to suppress dissent and control narratives. He warned that if we allow legitimate concerns to be dismissed out of hand, we forfeit our ability to protect our children and our communities. This isn't about rejecting all vaccines; it's about demanding transparency, accountability, and real, unbiased research. It's about protecting parental rights and allowing families to make informed choices without being coerced or shamed.

This executive order, if it comes, would be a monumental step towards restoring trust and finally shining a light on an issue that has been deliberately obscured. It's a testament to President Trump's unwavering commitment to the American people, and to challenging the powerful institutions that have held us captive for too long. He is honoring the legacy of those who fought for truth, like Charlie, by not backing down. This is what true leadership looks like.

An executive order codifying a debunked myth into federal health policy is how you get measles outbreaks at elementary schools, and RFK Jr. spent decades spreading this exact lie so now he gets to make it law.

RFK Jr. gets handed HHS and now the executive branch is considering official policy based on a study from 1998 that was retracted for fraud and cost the author his medical license. This is not a slippery slope, this is a government that looked at the slope and said "yes, perfect, that's where we want to be." The children who will die from measles outbreaks in two years will be the policy's victims but the blame will land on "vaccine hesitancy" as if the president's office had nothing to do with manufacturing it.

finally sum1 in charge wit da guts 2 ask da question dey been silencin 4 years lmaoo da CDC been "trust us" 4 decades n ppl r allowed 2 demand answers now rfk aint sum idiot he been on dis longer than ur bloomberg overlords even knew wat autism waz

Now Bloomberg decides they wanna talk about an "executive order" from the President on vaccines after all this time? They wasn't too worried about Obama pushing his big government mandates on everybody, but soon as Trump tries to get some answers, they acting all concerned. Maybe RFK Jr. actually askin' some real questions the rest of 'em been too scared to touch.

The Andrew Wakefield study that started this was retracted in 2010 after it came out that he had fabricated data, had undisclosed financial conflicts with litigation funders, and had subjected children to medically unnecessary procedures without ethics board approval. He lost his medical license. The Lancet published a full retraction. This is not a "both sides" empirical question in the way that, say, optimal marginal tax rates are a both-sides empirical question. Dozens of studies across millions of children in multiple countries have found no association. An executive order premised on this hypothesis is not "asking questions." It is the federal government sanctioning a claim that the scientific community examined and rejected on methodological grounds over a decade ago.

The RFK Jr. appointment already telegraphed this direction. What I want to be precise about is the mechanism of harm here: it is not only that vaccine hesitancy increases, though it will. It is that once the executive branch officially endorses a causal claim, career civil servants at NIH and CDC face institutional pressure to design research around confirming it. That is how you corrupt the underlying epistemic infrastructure, not just the current policy output.
