President-elect Donald Trump said in a new interview that he would consider altering childhood vaccination programs in the United States and questioned whether vaccines cause autism—a widely disproven claim.

In an interview with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News, former President Donald Trump falsely suggested a link between vaccines and autism, a claim that has been thoroughly debunked by scientific research.

This misinformation can contribute to vaccine hesitancy, which public health experts warn against, especially in light of ongoing efforts to manage public health crises like the measles outbreak in Florida. The interview also touched on other topics, but Trump's reiteration of the vaccine-autism myth was particularly noted for its potential to mislead the public.
