On September 18, 2026, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. addressed a conference organized by an anti-vaccine group he founded. He assured participants that they have a “friend at the White House.”
In a related development, President Donald Trump spoke to reporters in the Oval Office on Friday, discussing health care. He stated that he plans to “demand” that drug companies divide vaccines into five separate doses, administered every six months. President Trump believes this approach will lead to a decrease in autism rates.
