"It’s a surprising accusation, given the centrality of vaccine skepticism to Kennedy’s political brand and the Make America Healthy Again movement he is spearheading," Brown wrote. The Journal reported that Trump wants Kennedy to push federal guidelines toward fewer recommended childhood vaccinations, hoping this could eventually lower autism rates. "But that isn’t enough for Trump, who has shown that he doesn’t care about backing his own wild claims with solid proof." "Working for the federal government now requires a willingness to share in the president’s delusions," Brown wrote. "There are plenty of people in the world who are willing to say obviously untrue things in public for attention, money or both, but in private acknowledge the limits of their claims," Brown wrote.
