Trump Taps RFK Jr. to Lead HHS Probe Into Vaccine-Autism Link

JUST IN: Trump announces RFK Jr. will investigate the link between vaccines and autism as the head of the HHS.

NBC's Kristen Welker asks if Trump wants childhood vaccines to be eliminated.

TRUMP: "If they're dangerous for the children."

"If you take a look at autism, you go back 25 years. Autism was almost nonexistent. It was, you know, one out of 100,000 and now it's close to one out of 100."

"Something is going on. I don't know if it's vaccines. Maybe it's maybe it's chlorine in the water, right? People are looking at a lot of different things. I want them to look at everything."

Trump issued a nuanced take - saying some vaccines are great, but he still wants them looked into.

"Maybe some aren't. If they aren't, we have to find out."

Trump added that at Mar-a-Lago, he called up the top pharma companies and said he's going to devise solutions to our health and drug issues.
