HHS Secretary Alex Azar suggested that President Trump’s statements linking vaccines to autism during the 2016 campaign were based on a “debate” that had since been settled
HHS Secretary Alex Azar today urged vaccination to stop the country’s worst measles outbreak in 25 years but suggested that President Donald Trump’s statements linking vaccines to autism during the 2016 campaign were based on a “debate” that had since been settled.
In fact, scientists immediately challenged the 1998 paper linking the measles, mumps and rubella, or MMR, vaccine to autism, and it was retracted by the journal that published it in 2010. During a primary debate, Trump said multiple vaccines caused some children to become autistic.
“I’m delighted by the president’s very strong leadership last week,” Azar said. Asked whether Trump’s earlier comments may have spread the wrong idea about vaccines, Azar said, “there was debate about this issue but it’s been settled. The scientific community generated definitive information so we can reassure every parent there is no link.”
