TRUMP

GARRETT What level of ░░░░░░░░ do you have about ░░░░░░░░ of the people appointed ░░░░░░░░ President Elect Trump to ░░░░░░░░ public health positions regarding ░░░░░░░░ of vaccine testing public ░░░░░░░░ efficacy WEN I think ░░░░░░░░ there are some people ░░░░░░░░ into this administration who ░░░░░░░░ very competent For example ░░░░░░░░ Marty Markary a Johns ░░░░░░░░ surgeon we have worked ░░░░░░░░ for the last 10 ░░░░░░░░ years on issues like ░░░░░░░░ medical erring He s ░░░░░░░░ independent thinker who really ░░░░░░░░ to science and is ░░░░░░░░ to change his mind ░░░░░░░░ there is new evidence ░░░░░░░░ emerges But I have ░░░░░░░░ lot of concern and ░░░░░░░░ ve spoken to my ░░░░░░░░ in medicine and public ░░░░░░░░ and I think all ░░░░░░░░ us share this concern ░░░░░░░░ particular about Robert F ░░░░░░░░ the nominee to be ░░░░░░░░ head of Health and ░░░░░░░░ Services Kennedy has espoused ░░░░░░░░ views in the past ░░░░░░░░ are anti vaccine In ░░░░░░░░ he s been one ░░░░░░░░ the leading anti vaxing ░░░░░░░░ in the country if ░░░░░░░░ in the world over ░░░░░░░░ last couple of decades ░░░░░░░░ s also someone who ░░░░░░░░ made his career from ░░░░░░░░ an activist and not ░░░░░░░░ scientist And what I ░░░░░░░░ is that if you ░░░░░░░░ a scientist even if ░░░░░░░░ have deeply held convictions ░░░░░░░░ should be willing to ░░░░░░░░ your mind if there ░░░░░░░░ new facts that are ░░░░░░░░ It s a fact ░░░░░░░░ childhood vaccines are safe ░░░░░░░░ they are lifesaving A ░░░░░░░░ analysis just now found ░░░░░░░░ the childhood vaccination have ░░░░░░░░ over 1 1 million ░░░░░░░░ s lives over the ░░░░░░░░ 20 years According to ░░░░░░░░ Lancet study childhood vaccines ░░░░░░░░ 154 million lives globally ░░░░░░░░ the last 50 years ░░░░░░░░ mean these are facts ░░░░░░░░ it s very concerning ░░░░░░░░ have someone who doesn ░░░░░░░░ believe in the in ░░░░░░░░ science works and basic ░░░░░░░░ principles to be in ░░░░░░░░ of our nation s ░░░░░░░░ scientific and medical agencies.”
