Trump meets with vaccine skeptic Robert Kennedy Jr. [View all]
Donald Trump meets Tuesday with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and the president-elect and longtime environmental activist will discuss what many regard as a public health conspiracy theory: vaccines.
Like Trump, Kennedy has questioned whether vaccines cause autism, a claim consistently debunked by medical professionals across the board.
In March 2014 — before he became a presidential candidate — Trump said on Twitter: "Healthy young child goes to doctor, gets pumped with massive shot of many vaccines, doesn't feel good and changes - AUTISM. Many such cases!"
Kennedy, the son of former 1960s-era attorney general, U.S. senator and Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, has promoted a documentary film linking autism to the vaccine preservative thimerosal and criticizing public health officials who dispute that claim.

Just one more way Trump is a danger to the world in general. Shame to see a Kennedy collaborating with him.
