These moments, off-script as they may have been, are a strong signal that RFK Jr. and his allies are still planning to officially blame vaccines for causing autism. But that didn’t stop Trump and RFK Jr. from loudly proclaiming during the conference that they’ve come closer than anyone yet to finding the true answer to rising reported autism rates. Nowhere in the world is a child mandated to take 80 different vaccines, or up to 92, as RFK Jr. has previously claimed. The tally can differ depending on the state’s policy, but kids are typically encouraged to receive around 15 different vaccines before adulthood. Though RFK Jr. had less speaking time during the announcement, he too made it a point to bring up the debunked link between vaccines and autism.
