President-elect Donald Trump will meet with Robert Kennedy Jr., a prominent vaccine skeptic, on Tuesday. According to incoming White House press secretary Sean Spicer, the two will discuss “the issues pertaining to vaccines and immunizations.”
Kennedy, the eldest son of liberal icon Sen. Robert Kennedy, was best known as an environmental advocate before increasingly devoting his time to the supposed dangers of vaccines.
Mr. Trump has repeatedly shared his belief that there is a link between vaccines and autism.
“I am totally in favor of vaccines,” Mr. Trump said in a 2015 GOP primary debate. “But I want smaller doses over a longer period of time. Same exact amount, but you take this little beautiful baby, and you pump--I mean, it looks just like it’s meant for a horse, not for a child, and we’ve had so many instances, people that work for me. ... [in which] a child, a beautiful child went to have the vaccine, and came back and a week later had a tremendous fever, got very, very sick, now is autistic.”

Personally I think both thes guys should leave this up to the patients and their doctors. But with the Feds running the health care system it doesn’t surprise me that they think otherwise.
The meeting is a waste of time and energy.
I hope Kennedy doesn’t needle Trump too much about the issue.
This is a big issue for Gary Null.
UGH.
Isn’t this like the exiled Russian royalty expecting their asses to be kissed because of former glory?
Cool. I support this.
“we’ve had so many instances, people that work for me. ... [in which] a child, a beautiful child went to have the vaccine, and came back and a week later had a tremendous fever, got very, very sick, now is autistic.””
I doubt Trump said that or anything even close to that.
Nonsense.

Ummm.... yes he did. It was at one of the early debates.
Members of my family have experienced autism immediately following childhood immunization.
Robert Kennedy Jr. is a dirtball on many levels.
Kennedy should pursue a vaccine that keeps people like his family members from acting stupidly. He should get a double dose.
If Trump understood that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to regulate INTRAstate healthcare, then he would know that he is ultimately wasting his time with the issue imo.
Alternately, Trump could work with states, feds to include vaccine policy in possible Trumpcare amendment to the Constitution.
Remember in November ’18 !
Since Trump entered the ’16 presidential race too late for patriots to make sure that there were state sovereignty-respecting candidates on the primary ballots, patriots need make sure that such candidates are on the ’18 primary ballots so that they can be elected to support Trump in draining the unconstitutionally big federal government swamp.
Such a Congress will also be able to finish draining the swamp with respect to getting the remaining state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices off of the bench.
Noting that the primaries start in Iowa and New Hampshire in February ‘18, patriots need to challenge candidates for federal office in the following way.
Patriots need to qualify candidates by asking them why the Founding States made the Constitution’s Section 8 of Article I; to limit (cripple) the federal government’s powers.
Patriots also need to find candidates that are knowledgeable of the Supreme Court's clarifications of the federal government’s limited powers listed below.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphasis added].” —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Trump did not state that there was causation between the vaccine and the diagnosis of autism.
He simply stated the sequence between the vaccine and autism diagnoses.
Sometime prior the the autism diagnoses, the baby may have had vaccines, some ice cream or a jar of baby food, but none of that means that the vaccines, ice cream or baby food caused the autism.
Is this the Kennedy that always sounds like he is whining when he talks?
They need to do more research on vaccines. I for one have a chronic condition probably brought on from my first (and last) flu shot. That was 17 years ago.
