Trump calls for new vaccine while echoing vaccine misinformation
A recent STAT newsletter reported that President Donald Trump announced he will demand a new vaccine, echoing long-standing vaccine misinformation. The claim was made a day after health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told parents worried about vaccines that they have a friend in the White House.
The article connects the statement to Republican campaign activity in Iowa, where Kennedy campaigned with gubernatorial candidate Zach Lahn. It notes that the political backdrop includes the upcoming November midterm elections and other health-policy issues.
No details about the vaccine itself are provided, and the piece focuses on the political context rather than scientific data.
