(TheRedAlertNews.com) – Signaling a significant shift in public health discourse, the head of Republican nominee Donald Trump’s potential White House transition team has embraced Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s anti-vaccine stance.
Lutnick’s newfound skepticism toward vaccines came to light after interacting with Kennedy, a prominent figure in the anti-vaccine movement.
In a recent interview, Lutnick said that childhood vaccines cause autism, referencing a 1998 study.
Lutnick also questioned the safety of vaccines due to the lack of product liability for manufacturers.
He stated, “Why do you think vaccines are safe? There’s no product liability anymore.”
This argument, however, overlooks the stringent safety protocols and extensive testing required before vaccines are approved for public use.
Discussing Kennedy Jr.’s potential role in a potential Trump administration, Lutnick remarked, “He wants the data so he can say these things are unsafe.”
“He says if you give me the data, all I want is the data, and I’ll take on the data and show that it’s not safe,” Lutnick added. “And then if you pull the product liability, the companies will yank these vaccines right off of the markets.”
Reports suggest that Trump may consider giving Kennedy a position in his administration, which could have far-reaching implications for public health policy and vaccine programs.
While the Trump campaign has denied promising Kennedy control of health agencies, Lutnick’s statements indicate that Kennedy may wield significant influence in a potential Trump administration.
Critics claim that adopting these anti-vaccine stances could jeopardize decades of progress in disease prevention and put countless lives at risk.
However, supporters of Kennedy and Lutnick’s position argue they are fighting for transparency and safety in the vaccine industry.
