> President Donald Trump made multiple false or misleading statements about vaccines and autism on Monday. He has repeatedly promoted vaccine misinformation over time. At a White House event, Trump signed an executive order recommending that US children receive fewer vaccinations, spread out over a longer period than under current practice. He again raised the claim that vaccines cause autism, despite extensive research having thoroughly discredited that idea. Erin Burnett challenged and debunked Trump’s claim.
