Andrew Wakefield, disgraced physician struck off for ethics violation & data fabrication that started MMR panic, was honored to be invited to attend the Trump inaugural ball.

RFK, Jr. has Trump repeating, verbatim, his talking points. Forget Marianne Williamson. TRUMP is an anti-vaxxer President.https://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=200826 …

I know that in the list of horrors from the current administration, the current President parroting the "too many, too soon" talking point or claiming that climate change is a Chinese conspiracy is relatively minor, but for anyone who cares about science & reason, it matters.

Yep.
@realDonaldTrump has a long and sordid history of antivax utterings dating back at least to 2007.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2015/09/15/the-long-sordid-antivaccine-history-of-donald-trump/ …2 replies 5 retweets 12 likes -
In 2016, while campaigning in Florida, he met with a wealthy chiropractor, Andrew Wakefield, and other antivaxers on the down low.https://respectfulinsolence.com/2016/11/02/donald-trump-and-disgraced-antivaccine-scientist-andrew-wakefield-best-buds-forever/ …

Fortunately, for whatever reason, Trump has not made any moves to have the government embrace antivax pseudoscience. He might be intent on gutting the federal public health apparatus, but any damage to the vaccination program from that is collateral rather than targeted.

Indeed, recently, he even encouraged people to be vaccinated in the face of the largest measles outbreak in a generation. Go figure.
