REPORT: Trump Wants A “Vaccine Safety Commission”

Politico reports:

President Donald Trump remains committed to investigating a link between vaccines and autism, and his staff are still in contact with environmentalist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about leading a “vaccine safety commission” to investigate the issue, Kennedy told reporters Wednesday.

Kennedy, in his first comments on the proposed commission since meeting with Trump on Jan. 10, said he had met “many times” with members of the transition team and Trump staff since December, and they have been “trading documents about what the commission would look like.”

Kennedy, a leading proponent of the widely debunked theory that vaccines cause autism, said he spoke with Trump for 20 minutes on Jan. 4 and an hour with him at Trump Tower on Jan. 10. He said everyone in the room engaged in that discussion, including Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller and Vice President Mike Pence.
