Dr. Mehmet Oz, the head of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, appeared on CBS’s Face the Nation on Sunday. Host Margaret Brennan asked him three times to address recent remarks by President Donald Trump about the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine.
Brennan pressed Oz on Trump’s comments that the combined shot carried a possibility of being lethal. Oz eventually stated, “The MMR vaccine is not a lethal vaccine.” Earlier this month, Trump signed an executive order to overhaul the government’s vaccine recommendations.
