Caption: Trump Weighs Executive Order On Vaccines And Autism. The Trump administration is considering an executive order on vaccines and autism that could be released as soon as next week, according to a source familiar with the discussions. The proposal is reportedly being driven by President Donald Trump's interest in taking further action on autism. The White House said the administration is committed to delivering what it called the "best childhood vaccine schedule" using "Gold Standard Science.” Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has continued pursuing new studies into vaccines and autism despite decades of research finding no credible link between the two. Reuters previously reported that Trump has privately pressed Kennedy about vaccine research and whether he believes a link to autism can be proven. Trump’s advisers had urged Kennedy to avoid vaccine-related issues until after the midterm elections, fearing the debate could hurt Republicans politically. Trump has previously linked autism to childhood vaccines and the use of Tylenol during pregnancy, claims that are not supported by scientific evidence. Kennedy’s efforts to reshape U.S. vaccine policy suffered a setback in March when a court blocked key parts of his proposed reforms.
