President Donald Trump drew criticism after signing an executive order reducing the number of diseases covered by childhood vaccines.
According to CNBC, in the Oval Office on Monday, Trump claimed, "Nothing bad can happen from what we're doing.
Trump acknowledged, "It's inconvenient, it's five stops, but it's something that I think will have a huge impact on autism."
The order comes as the U.S. experiences its worst measles year in decades, with vaccination rates declining since COVID-19, reported CNBC.
RFK Jr., a longtime vaccine skeptic, has continuously pushed to reshape the childhood vaccine schedule, the outlet added.
