Report: Trump mad RFK Jr. hasn’t cut more vaccines or proven autism link

AI 中文解读

特朗普又闹出新动静了！这次他居然嫌自己的卫生部长、著名反疫苗人士小罗伯特·肯尼迪“反得不够狠”。据《华尔街日报》报道，特朗普一直坚信那个早已被科学证伪的“疫苗导致自闭症”说法，甚至想把它变成自己的政治遗产之一。他指望肯尼迪利用卫生部长的权力，大幅削减联邦儿童疫苗推荐清单，或者拿出疫苗和自闭症之间有联系的“证据”。可眼看肯尼迪迟迟没动手，特朗普在5月和6月两次公开表达不满，说这位卫生部长得了“抽搐症”，关键时刻掉链子。这件事对普通家庭的影响很实在：如果特朗普继续施压，未来儿童疫苗政策可能真的会后退。麻疹、百日咳这些原本被疫苗控制住的疾病，一旦接种率下降，可能卷土重来，威胁孩子的健康。自闭症的真正原因至今仍是科学界研究的难题，但疫苗绝不是元凶——这一点早就有大量权威研究盖棺定论。特朗普的执念，不过是把一个不靠谱的阴谋论当成了施政目标。

Ardent anti-vaccine activist and current US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is reportedly on thin ice with Trump for not being anti-vaccine enough for the president's liking, according to a report late Monday from The Wall Street Journal. Trump has become fixated on the completely false, thoroughly debunked claim that vaccines cause autism, the Journal reported. People familiar with the president's scattered thinking say Trump wants an autism remedy to be part of his legacy and thinks scaling back childhood vaccinations is a way to secure that achievement. As such, he has grown frustrated and disappointed that Kennedy hasn't done more to cut back federal childhood vaccine recommendations or confirm a link to the neurodevelopmental disorder. In May, the president reportedly aired his disappointment, calling out Kennedy for having "the yips" that were preventing him from acting on his zealous anti-vaccine agenda while holding the highest health position in the country. In June, Trump reportedly vented in the Oval Office to Kennedy that he wasn't doing enough.Read full article Comments
