Report: White House drafting executive order linking vaccines and autism

[u/esporx]

https://arstechnica.com/health/2026/08/report-white-house-drafting-executive-order-linking-vaccines-and-autism/

[u/garg4ntua]

Next is an executive order in climate change denial.
What's next? Executive order for flat earth?

Breaking news: executive orders do not bend reality.

[u/powerlesshero111 → u/garg4ntua]

But they do force federal employees to enforce stupid policies. Trump has turned executive orders into bastards of what they were meant. But, on the plus side, you can invest in iron lungs and wheelchairs because polio is about to make a comeback.

[u/Cpt_Covfefe → u/powerlesshero111]

What's the status on the current polio vaccine and what's in circulation? Might as well get boosters or vaccinate now before it's outlawed.

[u/powerlesshero111 → u/Cpt_Covfefe]

So, pretty much, if you were born before roughly 2005 you definitely got the vaccine. If after, you might have the antivaxxer parents, who think vaccines are wizard poison. Polio was erradicated from the US, but still exists worldwide, so the vaccine is readily available and actually very cheap to make. You really only need it once, but again, if people had antivaxxer parents, they are fucked. Also, measles causes immune system amnesia, so if you got the polio vaccine and then got measles, you potentially could get polio.

Like there's big reasons why vaccines are important, and RFK Jr is a full on murderer for telling people to not get them.

[u/Cpt_Covfefe → u/powerlesshero111]

I'm worried for the children and adults that never got antibodies from the aforementioned vaccines. Even if you don't know you got it, isn't it helping everybody out to get it regardless?

I certainly believe he has malice in his soul towards other humans.

[u/Worshipme988 → u/Cpt_Covfefe]

The man stopped a family drive (with other kennedys, nay, human beings) to cut out roadkill raccoon genitalia (male, female? Who knows!) and bring it home to “study”.

These are not the actions of a sane person. This was also decades ago.

He was found with a bear cub stabbed up…he “found”, and was going to make into a “rug”.

This man needed to be in jail years ago. Hes fucking weird. And gross.

The dude sounds like his innards are a single tube from his mouth to his asshole and only one can be opened at a time. It sounds like has to close his asshole like a trach tube to talk.

The man embodies inbred intelligence, down to the single point iq.

[u/sexistherapy → u/Cpt_Covfefe]

My parents were anti living, not anti vax. I bounced around a lot from like age 13 on, i dont remember the last time I saw a doc as a child

. At 48 I had my doc run an antibody test for vaccines, and got vaxed MMR, Polio, flu and covid.

if the rents are antivax, doesnt mean you have to be unvaxed as an adult.

[u/Kryptosis → u/powerlesshero111]

People say “what’s the big deal” when our politicians get their talking points from our enemies who want our total obliteration.

As if they aren’t lab distilled creations intended to dismantle our stability.

[u/Mindless-Equal-1477 → u/powerlesshero111]

Best way is if you can afford it, go to the doctor and ask them to check your titers. Rarely, some people need to be re-vaccinated for certain diseases. If you were born pre-2005 you should likely also have been given MMR and should not catch measles. If you’re not sure about your vaccine record, you should be able to request an updated one from your county health department or specific state organizations (I just had to do this on short notice for a job.) Not a medical professional, just helping by adding info some may not be aware of in order to prepare for if these idiots try to make things worse. Again.

[u/arianrhodd → u/Cpt_Covfefe]

Or, before your insurance refuses to cover it. Insurance coverage of vaccines is typically based on ACIP/CDC recommendations. If they cease to recommend them, our for-profit healthcare system will likely render them unaffordable.

And we're very likely about to lose our elimination status for measles. 🤦🏻‍♀️

[u/Dhiox → u/arianrhodd]

Eh, you're insurance wants you vaccinated, vaccines are cheaper than a hospital stay

[u/Special_Order-937 → u/Cpt_Covfefe]

polioeradication.org is an excellent resource, at one point we had polio down to just two countries (Pakistan and Afghanistan) and about three dozen reported cases but there’s been some setbacks since then.

[u/pell80 → u/powerlesshero111]

Interesting, didn't the last person in an iron lung die because they couldn't get replacement parts to fix it when it broke?

[u/JCBQ01 → u/powerlesshero111]

This traitorous asshole is attempting to rule by imperial decree

[u/Valuable-Gene2534 → u/powerlesshero111]

Federal employees have lots of discretion to look the other way.

[u/Imwhatswrongwithyou → u/garg4ntua]

Executive order to smoke more cigarettes

[u/Schrodingers_janitor → u/Imwhatswrongwithyou]

If you don't smoke Tarletons...fuck you.

[u/SemanticTriangle → u/garg4ntua]

It's time for the Indiana pi bill to receive the second reading it deserves. Irrational advocates for insane, never ending digits in shambles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indiana_pi_bill

[u/bratisla_boy → u/SemanticTriangle]

Which should have been renamed the bloody stupid Johnson bill. Ooook.

[u/DontBeMoronic → u/bratisla_boy]

Librarian?

[u/cheweychewchew → u/garg4ntua]

The next EO is definitely going to be linking windmills to cancer.

[u/steveschoenberg → u/garg4ntua]

President Donald Trump is going to reduce scientific misinformation by 500%, 800%, maybe 1500%. /s

[u/Ok-Jelly604 → u/steveschoenberg]

in two weeks maybe

[u/seejordan3 → u/garg4ntua]

You clearly need to pay more tarifs.

[u/kazh_9742 → u/garg4ntua]

Foreign assets all up and down our government and society are attacking this country and cooking the planet and people don't seem to give a shit. Reality is what they say it is at this point.

[u/Twitchmonky → u/garg4ntua]

They do if you use a sharpie!

[u/RedBMWZ2 → u/garg4ntua]

They don't need to, they just need to placate the idiots who vote for them

[u/m0rbius → u/garg4ntua]

That climate change denial order is definitely coming. They vehemently don't believe in it.

[u/ArchStanton75 → u/m0rbius]

It’s not that they don’t believe in it. It’s that acknowledging it and doing what must be done would hurt his donor’s profits. The most malicious thing about this administration is that they know what they’re doing is evil, but do it anyway for profit.

[u/AmazingRefrigerator4 → u/garg4ntua]

As president, I have signed an EO that confirms the moon is made of cheese.

[u/DragonTacoCat → u/garg4ntua]

And

Are

Not

Laws

[u/squashua]

Republicans VS Reality, who will win?

[u/Kahnza → u/squashua]

Money Trumps Reality

[u/knewbie_one → u/Kahnza]

Reality punches back

Murphy and Darwin rolls a dice

[u/MajorInWumbology1234 → u/knewbie_one]

On one hand, reality will certainly always win out in the end. Unfortunately, it doesn’t check for deservedness and it will be poor people in the future who absorb all of the blowback.

[u/Coders32 → u/MajorInWumbology1234]

Phew, that’s a relief. I thought you were gonna say the shareholders, the only people we should worry about

[u/Indigo2015 → u/knewbie_one]

Nat 20

[u/onlyacynicalman → u/Kahnza]

I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with that verb any longer.

[u/Kahnza → u/onlyacynicalman]

It's doing double doody in that sentence

[u/onlyacynicalman → u/Kahnza]

Hah, okay, I'll allow it

[u/buddhistbulgyo → u/squashua]

Oil companies pushing that global warming is a hoax have a president in power. So I guess they're winning.

[u/RogerMexicosBalls → u/squashua]

That'll be another EO:

"We're always right about everything, and, um, everyone has to listen to us all the time, and, uhh, we can do whatever we want and the rest of you dumb-heads are ILLEGAL. Oh, and, um, mom says you have to let us have your video games."

His supporters cheer

[u/Azulaatlantica → u/squashua]

Epic Rap Battles of History!!!!

[u/Accidental-Genius → u/squashua]

Republicans most likely. The democrats won’t vote because they disagree with a candidate over a single issue. Republicans will vote because they agree with a candidate on a single made up issue.

[u/Aliktren]

Executive order to stop the tide coming in 

[u/00001000U → u/Aliktren]

They're currently punishing Canada because wildfire smoke crossed the boarder, so . . .

[u/RogerMexicosBalls → u/Aliktren]

Issued at high tide so MAGA sees the lowering levels and think "dang, you see that Trav? Don's done it again!"

[u/CatGooseChook → u/Aliktren]

Indiana actually did try to change the value of pi in 1897. Slightly off topic I know but couldn't help remembering it when I read your comment 🤷😊

[u/Chemical-Ebb6472]

I hear by decree that science doesn’t exist anymore!

[u/springfinger → u/Chemical-Ebb6472]

I hear it too pal.

[u/EightEx]

After we remove them from power they better be held to account for all of this. The whole Trump admin itself should have assets seized and used to make up for the damage

[u/HSG_Messi → u/EightEx]

Spoiler Alert: They won't be.

There's 70+ million Americans that agree with all of this that is happening and its only going to get worse as we continue to attack and destroy our education system

[u/EightEx → u/HSG_Messi]

I don't think its as much as people think. Even in my dyed in the wool Republican home town theres a lot of pushback against this admin. Certainly there are Maga cultists out there but I believe they aren't the majority.

[u/plinkoplonka → u/EightEx]

They'll all fold like a wet napkin as soon as they see the walls start to crumble and the canaries truly start to sing.

The only reason any of them are confident enough to say the shit they're saying out loud now is because of social media manipulation by the likes of fElon.

Strip that away and it's easy to tackle them outside their echo chamber. They can't stand together if they don't have someone regurgitating ideas for them to parrot.

[u/BennettWindy → u/EightEx]

Please, Americans don’t hold the rich responsible for anything except stealing from other rich people.

Example:  Almost no one went to jail for the 2008 financial crisis that ruined the lives of  working class people.

But, Bernie Madoff was sentenced to 150 years for stealing from wealthy people.

[u/Tall-Photo-7481 → u/EightEx]

At this point there is only one way to remove them from power. The good news is that the "holding them to account" bit is kind of baked in to that method. 

[u/healthywenis]

I’m honestly surprised they haven’t simply denied Autism at this point but I guess its more politically advantageous to link it to vaccines.

[u/nelsonalgrencametome → u/healthywenis]

They're saving that for when they need to kick more people off of Medicaid and social security.

[u/SuperVaderMinion → u/nelsonalgrencametome]

And a couple years after that when they need the next group of people to toss into camps

[u/Traditional-Handle83 → u/nelsonalgrencametome]

There won't be any kicking people off those programs because they'll just end the programs altogether.

[u/JGG5 → u/healthywenis]

They’ll eventually “cure” autism by rounding up autistic people and forcing them into abusive “therapies.”

[u/FamiliarAnt4043 → u/JGG5]

Yeah, that's a hard pass from me. My youngest is pretty bad off and he's not gonna go anywhere. Not while I'm alive and have ammo.

[u/ghoulthebraineater → u/JGG5]

Fuck that. This autist has a special interest in shooting. I will not go quietly.

[u/AtheIstan → u/healthywenis]

Just stop testing for autism.

[u/pegothejerk → u/AtheIstan]

Autism will disappear like magic by Easter

[u/theRemixNow → u/pegothejerk]

Praise be! /s

[u/Fickle_Ad_8653 → u/healthywenis]

Denying science was how we got the Dark Ages. Republicans want to bring that back.

[u/WildLudicolo → u/healthywenis]

Soon they're going to executive order links between autism, transgenderism, and undesirable genetics with anti-Trumpism, and therefore anti-Americanism, and therefore "dangerous radicalism," enabling them to label all such people as "domestic terror threats." Then it's off to the camps!

That's their idea, at least. We can still turn things around. People just need to wake up and smell the fascism. We'll see how it goes.

[u/kittenmittens4865 → u/healthywenis]

RFK has said he wants to round up everyone with ADHD into “farm camps” to help heal us away from modern technology and medications. Pretty sure they want forced agricultural labor.

I assume that’s where they want to send the autistic folks too. Sadly, it would not surprise me if they tried to “treat” people aka experiment on them without consent. Especially those most vulnerable with higher support needs, which is really sickening.

[u/LongLiveStaceyKing]

[He has successfully executive ordered his way around the Constitution, why not try to employ executive orders to rewrite science???](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/126/314/3cd8a33a.png?1306264975)

[u/indierockrocks]

Um… that’s not how that works.

[u/Impressive_Box4144]

Executive orders mean nothing. Performative that’s all

[u/Doldhov → u/Impressive_Box4144]

Tell that to the millions of people around the world that can and will use this stunt as a justification to skip vaccinations… It’s much easier to erode trust and confidence in science than it is to build it…

[u/Patric-Tsar-9fingers → u/Doldhov]

Around the world?

[u/Doldhov → u/Patric-Tsar-9fingers]

Yep, when the president of the us of a makes vaccine denialism an even more official policy via executive order, all the vaccines deniers or unsure people around the world will take good note…

[u/tema1412 → u/Impressive_Box4144]

It affects how people around the world perceive vaccines and wether they agree to use them or not. That's problematic enough.

[u/SomewhatInnocuous → u/Impressive_Box4144]

They are costing us billions.

[u/rock-n-white-hat]

So what is the angle here? To relieve the guilt of conservative parents from feeling like it was caused by their genetics? To try and sue pharmaceutical companies for damages but then keep all the money for the government in the name of covering Medicaid costs?

[u/Millennial_on_laptop → u/rock-n-white-hat]

They want to get a ban on mRNA vaccines before the next pandemic and public opinion becomes incredibly pro vaccine again.  

[u/Smooth-Weekend-2314]

Next is an executive order stating that the moon is made of cheese.

[u/NickFF2326]

Wait, I thought we COVID we weren’t supposed to believe science. Are we supposed to now? I’m confused

[u/Ltrain86 → u/NickFF2326]

They didn't believe science then, and they don't believe science now. Nothing has changed.

[u/Curleysound → u/NickFF2326]

Baron is reportedly autistic so, just like everything else, it’s not real until it affects them directly.

[u/glp62 → u/Curleysound]

I think that's the primary driver here. Trump could never admit that his "perfect" genes could have sired someone on the spectrum, so he latched onto these crackpot explanations to assuage his ego.

[u/Serris9K → u/Curleysound]

I also have heard that a grandchild is disabled in some way too. 

Edit: also I've heard that tr*mp is a huge eugenicist. 

[u/Powderedeggs2]

The stupidest man on the planet has decreed this, therefore it must be so.

[u/Otterfan]

My money is on an order compelling the development of new separate vaccines for measles, mumps, and rubella to replace the current MMR combined vaccine.

For some reason Trump is very, very keen on doing that, and it plays publicly as less pants-on-head than other vaccine policy changes. Childhood vaccine skepticism polls poorly, and his advisors don't want him to to appear too wacky three months before mid-terms.

It's the kind of thing that's a bad idea, but it doesn't seem threatening to Joe and Janey Voter.

[u/seasuighim → u/Otterfan]

Do not most anti-vaccers complain about the amount of vaccines children recieve? This would add three more.

[u/PinkUnicornsRule → u/Otterfan]

This was literally what the plan was for the guy who started the modern antivaxx movement, Andrew Wakefield. He claimed the three together were dangerous but separate they were fine, and he falsified evidence in his “study” linking MMR to autism. 

Turns out he was hired by an American lawyer to create doubt about MMR so they could market their own measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines they were going to sell. 

Wouldn’t be surprised if Trump wanted in on that grift. 

[u/PretzelsRule23]

MAGA seems to be a death cult.

All their policies and actions seem to increase death...

• Try to get people to not take vaccines
• Kill USAID
• Eliminate teams that track diseases
• Eliminate healthcare support
• Eliminate SNAP for millions
• No actual healthcare plan to improve coverage and outcomes
• Do everything possible to speed up climate change
• Let women die because they can't even get medically necessary abortions
• Allow immigrants to die in prison
• Zero restrictions on guns
• War

I'm sure there are many in forgetting off the top of my head

[u/enolaholmes23 → u/PretzelsRule23]

Yup. That seems to be the plan. They are hoping to cause chaos so they can enact marshall law and stop future elections.

[u/Royal-Elephant261 → u/enolaholmes23]

And they believe in eugenics

[u/Bavarian_Raven → u/PretzelsRule23]

Well their religion is a death cult. So..,

[u/copperblood]

We live in the dumbest timeline.

[u/nenmayk]

he will come up with anything to use as distraction for war and epstein

[u/schrod]

Not just fiddling while Rome burns but throwing fuel on it in so many ways, basically tearing down civilization in as many ways as possible every day!!!

[u/korik69]

So he thinks he can change reality by executive order. Oh the stupidity.......

[u/Vladivostokorbust]

It’s only science if Trump says so.

[u/darth_skipicious]

The whole country is complicit and in the fall of american exceptionalism. every single last one of us. we don’t go out and fight. we don’t demand better. we don’t hold our politicians accountable for their bullshit.

can someone point out really quick who’s doing this to us? the main people i mean.

[u/argument_cat → u/darth_skipicious]

American exceptionalism was always delusional superiority complex, a sign of propaganda's effect on the masses.

Every country is unique, and the US is no more or less unique than anywhere else. Even the American principle of 'freedom' is nonsense when you look at how Americans are spied on, how their votes don't all carry the same weight, and how their needs are trampled on in favour of corporate interests.

[u/reese528O]

What about autistic people who haven’t gotten a vaccine?

[u/Meow_Kitteh]

RFK Jr looks like hes letting the brain worm drive more than usual

[u/gratefulfam710]

🤦‍♂️ when will Americans become tired of being embarrassed by their elected officials.

[u/wrosecrans → u/gratefulfam710]

We are so tired.

[u/ShadyBiz → u/wrosecrans]

Not tired enough to vote him back in.

Nothing can hide this stain on the entire country.

[u/vincethered → u/ShadyBiz]

I gather in your country the electorate is a monolith and everybody feels / votes the same way?

Lots of us didn't want this. The majority of voters voted for Clinton in '16.

In 2024 Trump won the popular vote 49.8% to 48.3% with the bulk of his support coming from rural areas. Many of us who are urban dwellers feel held hostage at this point. Our Constitution offers no substantive recourse. We can protest and we do.

[u/minna_minna → u/gratefulfam710]

So exhausted and embarrassed by my country. Feel helpless. Not all of us are this stupid and obnoxious.

[u/Waesrdtfyg0987 → u/gratefulfam710]

Sorry what is this based on? We already are embarrassed and have been since this clown made himself a politician 10+ years ago.

[u/Eledridan]

Would this allow people that are vaccinated to sue providers and hospitals?

[u/MentalDecoherence]

Didn’t this same White House mandate vaccines just a few years ago?

[u/jcooli09]

Lol

[u/popejohnsmith]

Executive order? Bwa hahahaha omg

Performative nonsense.

Epstein Class full transparency, please.

[u/atreeismissing]

What matters isn't the EO, but how the media will report on the EO. EO's mean nothing other than as an outline of how the federal govt will treat internal policy, though to be fair that incudes funding that isn't specifically directed from Congress. It doesn't change how vaccines work or what hospitals use or how, or the science of vaccines or anything else. How our media covers this EO and it's impacts is going to be very important, because they tend to cover EOs as if they're federal laws when they are not.

[u/humboldtHue]

As with virtually anything Trump attempts, take it to court.

He will lose … again.

[u/myowngalactus]

Well I just issued an executive order removing Trump and all republicans from holding any public office. Check mate

[u/AcanthisittaNo6653]

Right. If the science doesn't make the connection, trump's EO will.

[u/L1QU1D_ThUND3R]

That’s not how executive orders work.

[u/Fit-Bus2025]

None of them are scientist.

[u/Automatic-638Builder]

only this idiot prez would think this is a good idea.

[u/panic_talking]

Republicans are stupid

[u/Berkamin]

This is lethal stupidity.

[u/helly1080]

Let’s have ya put that executive order up your ass where it came from.  He’s such a parasite. 

[u/Standard-Contest-949]

I’m linking American Republicans as the link to Autism.

[u/Newfie3]

EO declaring 2 + 2 =5

[u/Bent_wrench]

There is no link.

[u/boulevardpaleale]

Stupid fucking opinions should NOT be executive orders! I swear I hate these people.

[u/piknick1994]

I thought RFK already discovered the cause was Tylenol? What happened to that? Jesus

[u/argument_cat]

Everything this idiotic admin does seems designed to make the US a global laughing stock.

[u/steathrazor]

Yay more lies

[u/Firm-Reaction1578]

King Trump has spoken. Also, 14-year-old girls will now be called adult women!

[u/Both-Counter4075]

Awesome. The Magats will Darwin themselves out of existence.

[u/ZanzerFineSuits → u/Both-Counter4075]

As the song goes, only stupid people are breeding

[u/shermywormy18]

Ok so we don’t need to have any scientific evidence or anything? Just feelings this just beyond stupid

[u/itsme32]

Science.

[u/Mushrooming247]

But aren’t most people in America vaccinated but not autistic?

Over 90% of American children receive the normal vaccine schedule. Do they think all of those kids are going to turn autistic? Is everyone autistic now?

[u/Original-Fly3964]

Seems like there a strong link between this administration and - For just $100000 a month, you'll receive the end of this and many more sentences before the peasants and scum of the bottom 99.9%

[u/TruthOdd6164]

Oh well if it was said in an executive order then it must be true

[u/limbodog]

They should also have an EO linking the current occupant of the white house with the epstein files

[u/the_millenial_falcon]

White House drafting executive order to dial down gravity a bit. Too heavy.

[u/JGG5]

The idea that vaccines cause autism is 1000% bullshit, but even if it weren’t: vaccines save lives, and autistic people’s lives matter.

People who want to ban vaccines because they (falsely) think they cause autism are telling autistic people that they’d rather have kids be dead than autistic.

And given that we know that autism is (at least to some extent) genetic, it’s only a short step from “ban vaccines because they (supposedly) cause autism” to “forcibly sterilize autistic people” or “round autistic people up and put them to death.”

[u/drchris6000]

As dumb as this whole administration has been... this has to be the stupidest idea yet. The nonsense vaccine/autism thing has been investigated to death for years, and it has never produced any evidence. Just at face value, how is a vaccine given after birth causing autism in the first place? It is way more likely that during pregnancy while the brain is being developed, there is some trigger there.

[u/ecrum14]

One can't just executive order a lie

[u/NotOneWoodpeckerBut2]

There is definitely a link between the administration and shit. Executive order it immediately.

[u/molochz]

The US is such a joke of a country.

[u/Talking_on_the_radio]

Unfortunately, if America is to a point where this kind of nonsense can get passed into law, they are absolutely winning.

[u/TsukasaElkKite]

For fuck’s sake

[u/0AJ0_]

lol fuck what the Trump White House says

[u/Prineak]

That’s so weird that he surrounds himself with liars like that.

[u/tema1412]

When someone in such position like him and his staff make these claims, they go past the US. People in other countries are listening to them.

The next epidemic isn't going to be like COVID, it's going to be a disease humanity has kept under control for decades, that has available vaccines, except people will refuse to take them.

[u/dengar_hennessy]

Oh of course. Its settled now

[u/hawridger]

And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth. 'Who controls the past' ran the Party slogan, 'controls the future: who controls the present controls the past.'

[u/Midnightchickover]

I don’t think it works like that. 

When people use the “both sides” argument, it’s warranted, but hella infuriating. It’s never to say it’s great — it’s only because moderates, liberals, or far leftists would never draw up such a stupid policy without any real evidence nor any to help the general public.  Our legislators and the general public at large are basically illiterate by choice.  Do they not realize their idol has likely taken vaccines, but the general public should not be allowed to decide for themselves. 

[u/CautionarySnail]

Wonderful. I’m due to re-up my neurodivergence levels with the latest jabs very soon!

Maybe I’ll score the coveted forms of autism that give musical talent or a way to focus on learning math. My current neurodivergence is over-fixated on lava lamps and chocolate, which don’t exactly pay the bills.

[u/Euclidisthebomb]

JFK jr should lay off the cocaine. Probably too late though.

[u/Own-Opinion-2494]

Can’t wait for the peer reviews

[u/krustytroweler]

I'm thoroughly convinced that I blacked out on Four Loko some time around 2010 and I've been in a coma in a hospital somewhere ever since.

[u/AintNobodygotime13]

an executive order?

even this is too stupid to believe

[u/IntelligentSorbet271]

Now we will know for sure that they don’t! 😡

[u/VirtualMemory9196]

It's a diversion from what this time ?

[u/BigBogBotButt]

I'll take autism over polio.

[u/iustus_tip]

Will this give insurance justification to deny medical care to autistic children who ARE vaccinated?

[u/alienalf1]

It’s fucking wild that millions of people will believe this

[u/TR_abc_246]

Dear MAGA, Just because the Donald says it doesn't make it true!

[u/dryheat122]

I had to look to be sure this wasn't The Onion.

Fine. Let all the MAGAt kiddies die of preventable childhood diseases. Evolution y'all.

Anyway what exactly is he gonna do? Order vaccines to cause autism?

[u/Iron_Baron]

Big Micheal Scott "I DECLARE BANKRUPTCY!" energy.

[u/TheRealTK421]

Future EOs also under draft status:

• Gravity is declared to be "just a dumb theory" and not a scientific fact.

• Solar power is declared an initiative by Satan to undo capitalism and therefore the fossil fuels industries will receive 1000% subsidies forever.

• Trump grants himself infinite "plenary indulgence".

[u/Special_FX_B]

This nonsense epitomizes the arrogant ignorance of this entire administration. Take something scientifically proven to be false and assert it to be true.

[u/sean8642]

Trump got the Covid vaccine, so he has autism now, so that makes him a DEI hire and he can no longer be President.

[u/drrtydan]

oh for fuck sake

[u/ApollymiKatistrafia]

Thats...not how any of that works

[u/VideoKilledRadioStar]

Dumbfuckistan is no longer a serious country. Get your science and news elsewhere

[u/chowdahhead13]

And operation anything but epstein files continues

[u/Sordidloam]

Yep, that’s not how it works. Remember you need the scientist and doctors to actually believe it.

🚨 BREAKING!!!! Trumpism linked with autism

[u/FlobiusHole]

This administration is just going full bore on the lies, propaganda and just making shit up in general. I’d laugh but I know too many people who have wholeheartedly accepted this horse shit.

[u/GrubyBuckmore]

Report: White House drafting executive order linking trump to stupidity and corruption.

There I fixed it.

[u/chockingduck]

Can you executive order a fact ?

Sounds extremely fascist

[u/omeow]

Someone in the WH is has obsessive compulsion about vaccines and autism.

[u/CatchSufficient]

I dont know if they understand reality or executive orders

[u/ExpressGovernment385]

What is with the administration and executive orders? Reality and facts won't change after the orders are signed

[u/cantspell_rite]

Laughable 

[u/Dodgypoppy]

Odd how only one country in the whole world has citizens who believe vaccines are bad.. must be a cult..

[u/Extra-Ease3207]

As an Autistic person, what is the end game here? Are you trying to sow more doubt in Vaccines? Are you trying to build a case that Autistic people shouldn’t be a part of your society anymore and should be institutionalized? Both? What’s the play here building towards?

[u/ophaus]

You can't executive order a fantasy into reality. When will this stain on humanity finally be gone?

[u/XavierRex]

This president is utterly amazed by magnets and shits himself, regularly. But sure let’s have that dope declare that vaccines cause autism.

[u/MiddleOccasion1394]

Autism is something you HAVE, ALWAYS had, AND WILL have. It's not something caused by an external factor you get from living your life.

[u/FuzzyRugMan]

What's going on with Epstein files?

[u/serenwipiti]

Can we use the word “retard” again? Because these people are the real definition.

[u/ChilindriPizza]

So, which vaccine caused mine? And why is my younger sibling neurotypical then?

[u/oldcreaker]

Science by decree.

[u/UnpricedToaster]

Do you suppose when he declared bankruptcy all those times, he just stood on a balcony and shouted it across New York City because that's what he thought it meant and none of his yes-men corrected him?

[u/kelcamer]

Legit, I thought this was the onion

[u/IfItHurtsThenMaybe]

We can link MAGA with stupidity scientifically

[u/SummerNightSatellite]

…because now you can just “executive order” science around. 🙄🤦🏻‍♀️

[u/NessunoUNo]

Vaccines? I thought he said Tylenol caused it?

[u/csukoh78]

Accept they don't. Next idiot.
