President Donald Trump repeatedly pressed Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to slash childhood vaccine recommendations, driven by the president’s insistence that inoculations are linked to autism, according to a new report.
At a lunch in May, Trump asked Kennedy why he had not done more to investigate the supposed connection, accusing him of having the “yips,” The Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter. Yips is a sports term often used for poor performance caused by anxiety.
