  The Trump administration could've chosen anyone to conduct its study on vaccines and autism. It settled on someone who's apparently already made up his mind.

The article from MSN, written by Steve Benen for MSNBC, discusses a controversial decision by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to appoint Dr. Paul Thomas, a known vaccine skeptic, to oversee a study on the potential link between vaccines and autism. Despite extensive scientific research debunking any such connection, HHS has decided to fund this study, which critics argue is unnecessary and could lend credibility to discredited theories. Dr. Thomas, who has been previously criticized for his anti-vaccine stance and for losing his medical license in Oregon, is seen as an inappropriate choice for this role. The study, which will examine the health outcomes of vaccinated versus unvaccinated children, is viewed by many in the scientific community as a misuse of taxpayer money and a potential setback in public health efforts to promote vaccination.
