But the president also posted anti-vaxxer tweets in 2014 linking vaccines with autism.
President Trump pushed for Americans to get vaccinated for measles on Friday, the same week that both the CDC and Unicef issued separate reports warning that measles outbreaks have reached record highs.
But he responded to a reporter’s question about the surge in outbreaks on Friday morning before leaving for the National Rifle Association’s annual convention in Indiana.This reverses a series of tweets he posted in 2014, however, when he appeared to share debunked anti-vaxxer beliefs that vaccinations cause autism.
He also wrote, “If I were President I would push for proper vaccinations but would not allow one time massive shots that a child cannot take - AUTISM.” — Jackson Proskow April 26, 2019 This vaccination-autism myth is based on a 1998 study that has been widely discredited and was even retracted by Lancet last year. In fact, a 10-year study of 657,461 Danish children published in the American College of Physicians earlier this year also found no link between the MMR vaccine and autism, even among children with other risk factors for autism.
