SharesTrump recently signs an executive order calling for a reduction in the childhood vaccine schedule from the current 17 vaccines to 11. And he is doing everything he can to marginalize vaccines as a public health measure. But still the intent is clear, to reduce vaccine uptake and to continue the watering down of the vaccine schedule. The CDC website states: “The claim “vaccines do not cause autism” is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism.” This is especially true in public health, which is almost by definition a numbers game.
