President Donald Trump said Friday that his administration will recommend dividing certain childhood vaccines into five smaller doses given six months apart, a step Reuters reported he believes would sharply reduce autism. Reuters noted that Trump gave no scientific evidence tying vaccines to autism, a connection scientists have repeatedly debunked.
Speaking in the Oval Office, Trump said the administration will recommend “five doses marked one, two, three, four, five” given in “six-month intervals, so that a small amount of the vaccine gets pumped into the body,” CNN reported.
