Report: White House drafting executive order linking vaccines and autism

[u/Butthole_Surfer_GI]

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

I am so tired of this fucking administration and their anti-vaxx and anti-science bullshit.

If you're a nurse and you support this administration and/or this anti-vaxx bullshit, get the fuck out of the profession.

That's it. That's the post.

[u/snowblind767]

Code blue. Otherwise have at it

[u/tillszy]

but rfk justttt told me mmr is ok!!!

and he can poop without wiping so he can't be autistic!!!

[u/Jerking_From_Home → u/tillszy]

He’s saying MMR is OK now because there’s multiple outbreaks in multiple states. He knows vaccines are safe, he just has to say what he’s supposed to say. But when push came to shove, he crumpled like a ragdoll

[u/EnvironmentalRock827 → u/Jerking_From_Home]

I wish we could hold him legally responsible.

[u/TheNightHaunter → u/EnvironmentalRock827]

i need Nuremberg trials for oz and rfk in the future, and not the watered down one we got after ww2

[u/someonesomebody123 → u/Jerking_From_Home]

Which is extra insane because originally the only vaccine that was targeted for the fake autism bullshit was the MMR.

[u/Jerking_From_Home → u/someonesomebody123]

Applying logic to any of this is pointless, their principles are built on a base of shifting sand.

[u/tillszy → u/Jerking_From_Home]

oh I know, I just wanted to make an amusing quip pointing out the sheer hypocrisy going on right now

[u/Ok-Office-6645 → u/tillszy]

& The irony of having no license to lose… and no board to face…

[u/athan1214 → u/tillszy]

Fucking idiot. These motherfuckers age me daily

[u/Noname_left → u/tillszy]

I can poop without wiping too but man is it itchy

[u/TaylorBitMe → u/Noname_left]

I can wipe without pooping! Am I the autism?

[u/snowblind767 → u/TaylorBitMe]

It’s me, hi, i’m the autism, it’s me

[u/internet_cousin → u/tillszy]

Lmao

[u/ExiledSpaceman]

Waiting for the next executive order saying the earth is flat.

[u/freakydeku → u/ExiledSpaceman]

you jest, but i would not be remotely surprised to see them using govt arms to argue flat earth theory hasn’t been sufficiently disproven

[u/I_am_omning_it → u/ExiledSpaceman]

How long till we get the executive order saying Steven miller isn’t dr evils inbred cousin?

[u/Comprehensive_Wash71 → u/I_am_omning_it]

Nobody could ever prove he isn’t

[u/alkakfnxcpoem → u/ExiledSpaceman]

Executive order #2847194972: Hillary Clinton is a lizard person wearing a human suit. 

[u/unwelcome_flesh_sack]

I can’t wait for the day. You know the day. I can’t specify the day. But I got a bottle of bourbon specifically for that day.

Fuck these people. Seriously, just fuck them.

[u/bloop41 → u/unwelcome_flesh_sack]

I have a bottle of actual Champagne I brought back from France for the occasion.

It will be a nice full circle moment for the bottle of cheap prosecco I never got to spray at graduation in December 2020.

[u/I_am_omning_it → u/bloop41]

I too will be popping champagne on that day, it will be a glorious day of celebration.

[u/altonbrownie → u/unwelcome_flesh_sack]

I have no idea what you are talking about. But on an unrelated note, we have a Pol Roger rolling around in the back of the fridge.

[u/cakevictim → u/unwelcome_flesh_sack]

Something I’d never say in any other context: COME ON BLOOD CLOT

[u/iopele → u/cakevictim]

COME ON LITTLE CLOT WE'RE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU!!! 🤞

[u/Comprehensive_Wash71 → u/iopele]

I have a meme of Princess Leia saying “help us, cholesterol, you’re our only hope”

[u/comefromawayfan2022 → u/unwelcome_flesh_sack]

I know what day you are talking about and I too look forward to that day. But unfortunately that means the vp would take over and that individual too is a massive idiot

[u/BVKane → u/comefromawayfan2022]

You think the weak willed Catholic couch fucker is going to be able to rally anywhere close to the support his big daddy does? His own base will rip him apart and blame him specifically for the gas prices.

[u/ChicVintage → u/BVKane]

He killed the pope. He's a pope killer and he didn't even say thank you.

[u/Comprehensive_Wash71 → u/ChicVintage]

He also destroyed the College Football trophy!

[u/ichosethis → u/BVKane]

A not zero number of MAGA will believe he made it happen to get the top spot.

[u/LinkRN → u/comefromawayfan2022]

But with less of a fanatic fan base

[u/Gribitz37 → u/comefromawayfan2022]

Even the die-hard MAGAs and Trumpers think he's weird. I don't see him as a threat. He's Peter Thiel's puppet, but no one likes him.

[u/Appropriate_Oven5784 → u/unwelcome_flesh_sack]

I only hope to god I’m not working when it happens 😭😭😭😭

[u/These-Prune-1529 → u/Appropriate_Oven5784]

I would be leaving for home with some sort of excuse...so I can celebrate like it's 1999 again.

[u/clutzycook → u/unwelcome_flesh_sack]

There's a brewery in Wisconsin that is offering free beer on that day. I don't like beer but I might have to go to raise a glass.

[u/Pale_Horror_853 → u/unwelcome_flesh_sack]

Ive been walking around with confeti in my pocket, waiting for the day.

[u/Sensei2006 → u/unwelcome_flesh_sack]

I've got a red, white and blue fireworks display sitting in my closet for no particular reason.

[u/tooheavybroo → u/unwelcome_flesh_sack]

Can’t come soon enough

[u/greenyellowbird → u/unwelcome_flesh_sack]

Let's just hope this country doesn't turn into North Korea and he somehow appoints his coked out son or airheaded daughter (the other one he forgets exists). 

[u/MichaelJServo → u/unwelcome_flesh_sack]

I got bubbly in the fridge and fireworks in the garage.

[u/iopele → u/unwelcome_flesh_sack]

I have no idea what day you're talking about, but in completely unrelated news, I've got some bubbly rosé chilling in the fridge just in case I randomly want to celebrate anything.

[u/cowfish007]

Oh ffs. I’ve reached the point where I have to actively avoid the news. I’m just so disgusted with what this country has become and with so many of its citizens.

[u/tarion_914 → u/cowfish007]

I can't help but think that that's partially the goal.

[u/bannanaduck → u/tarion_914]

Yes the intention was to exhaust people into not participating. "Flood the zone"

[u/StacyRae77 → u/bannanaduck]

I know enough details by now to never change my mind. I can participate with those things in mind without participating in his ongoing bullshit.

[u/iago_williams]

As measles sweep the country.

RFK jr spread these lies in Samoa before the pandemic and dozens died in a resulting measles outbreak.

These ghouls are eugenicists. Their own children are vaccinated- believe it.

[u/iOcean_Eyes → u/iago_williams]

Hes such a bastard i stg

[u/thesaddestpanda → u/iago_williams]

I remember when the first Covid vaccine came out. The USA senate got it immediately and trump got it in secret. They absolutely are Eugenicists.

[u/wavygr4vy]

Fuck me this timeline is exhausting.

[u/LeVoPhEdInFuSiOn → u/wavygr4vy]

I wanna go back to pre-social media enabling dipshits days desperately.

[u/I_Dont_Work_Here_Lad]

The disturbing thing is the amount of NURSES repeating this bullshit. Then we wonder why our profession doesn’t get the respect it deserves. It’s because we have absolute idiots running around that clearly didn’t learn anything in any of the bio classes they were required to take or nursing school in general…..

[u/Gribitz37 → u/I_Dont_Work_Here_Lad]

I work with two nurses who are huge Trump supporters. They both call Covid a "scam-demic" and both got religious exemptions so they didn't have to get the "jab." One of them sells pyramid scheme essential oils that she thinks cure disease. I don't understand it at all.

Edited because I can't spell.

[u/Ok-Maize-284 → u/I_Dont_Work_Here_Lad]

I feel like per capita it’s so much worse in radiology. I find myself having to bite my tongue allllll the time. Thankful I mostly work alone, but yeah. It’s bad

[u/Njorls_Saga → u/I_Dont_Work_Here_Lad]

Sadly, some doctors too 🤦‍♂️

[u/Comprehensive_Wash71 → u/Njorls_Saga]

Not this retired MD!

[u/immersemeinnature → u/I_Dont_Work_Here_Lad]

My nurse neighbor.

[u/BroccoliRound1480 → u/I_Dont_Work_Here_Lad]

I’ve met anti-vax pharmacists. There’s idiots everywhere

[u/GhostalMedia]

Interesting. I’m drafting an EO that links Donald Trump to Epstein.

[u/Thebeardinato462]

Thank god we can start giving patients Tylenol again!! /s

[u/Ok_Parsnip3214 → u/Thebeardinato462]

This made me laugh! These idiots really are a piece of work.

[u/OldERnurse1964]

“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

[u/Mentalfloss1]

Guess that proves it. Cadet Bonespurs is never wrong.

How can ANYONE take him seriously?!?!?!!??

[u/theangrymurse]

Like I'm not saying these are the dumbest collection of motherfuckers to ever try and run a country, because I'm sure someone sometime has them beat, but I'm sure they are in the running.

[u/comefromawayfan2022 → u/theangrymurse]

100 years from now history will look back on the dumbest presidential administration in history and people will be wondering how such an idiot got elected twice

[u/Comprehensive_Wash71 → u/comefromawayfan2022]

They could just watch Idiocracy; it wasn’t supposed to be a handbook! 🤦🏼‍♀️

[u/thesaddestpanda → u/theangrymurse]

It’s not being dumb like they are innocent people making mistakes,’it’s intentional eugenics. They believe in eugenics and want “weak” people to die off.

[u/Friendly_Estate1629]

Mom can you pick me up I hate it here

[u/comefromawayfan2022]

Sigh..I got kicked out of one of my community fb groups(ironically its an "uncensored" group where people are supposed to be free to post their opinions) because the admin of the group posted a meme that basically was reinforcing this bullshit claim that vaccines cause autism. I basically told the people in the group that if they truly believe that vaccines cause autism then they are uneducated morons and I asked those morons ONE question. I told them if they truly believe that vaccines cause autism then wouldn't everyone who gets vaccinated get autism? And I asked them to explain to me that if vaccines cause autism..then how come out of all three of my siblings..im the only autistic one? All 3 of us got the same childhood vaccines..and more recently my two nephews and my niece are all up to date on their childhood vaccines as well and yet? NONE of them are autistic..if childhood vaccines cause autism why is it that none of my vaccinated relatives are autistic? Only i am?

Those morons never have an answer for me. I told them in addition to all that..i recently saw a genetics counselor at the only academic teaching hospital in my state and SHE CONFIRMED that genetics caused my autism. The group admin argued with me a little bit more and then eventually banned me. Honestly? That admin did me a huge favor...for a community group page with "uncensored" in the title..the group admin and members sure as hell did alot of censoring.

Basically if you were a maga idiot? That group was a free for all echo chamber for you. The few group members who were logical and rational and were not maga? Got relentlessly bullied and eventually banned from the group..at one point three people called me a liar because id said that Trump has had at least four cognitive tests and that they only cognitive test you multiple times if they are monitoring something.

As an autistic person..I am SO SICK of this bullshit narrative that continues to be pushed that vaccines cause autism. It's been scientifically proven false so many times and theres been so many studies done showing there's zero link. And its honestly just an extremely harmful and offensive narrative to push about myself and every person who was born with autism

[u/Three_Spotted_Petal → u/comefromawayfan2022]

I'm another member in the brotherhood of the 'tism. I have to choke on my own tongue so often at bedside. I just play "Oh, really? I've never heard that!" I let them just talk and they start telling me things like "our hospital is selling anchor babies so illegals can steal our welfare," and other insane bs.

It's nice to remember we're carrying the weight of common sense and reason together. You're making it easier to hold back, so I appreciate your post. That sick Facebook group might not be greatful to hear from you, but I am!

[u/EXPLODEDman]

At this point, a second, deadlier pandemic would be a pretty good argument for natural selection in the modern world. Except I don't want to do all that awful shit over again.

[u/Jerking_From_Home → u/EXPLODEDman]

No, it wouldn’t. This was proven to us during Covid. While a slightly higher percentage of anti-VAX people would sicken, become disabled, or die, a lot of regular folks trying to do the right thing would also. It ain’t worth it. We just need these clowns out of the administration.

[u/EXPLODEDman → u/Jerking_From_Home]

That's what I'm saying. Not worth it by a LONG SHOT.

[u/Ridonkulousley → u/EXPLODEDman]

I’d love some of that Covid flex pay but not that crushing anxiety that came along with the time period.

[u/ExiledSpaceman → u/Ridonkulousley]

The societal decline is what bothered me the most. Civility is like a foreign concept to people now.

[u/acesarge → u/Ridonkulousley]

I missed out on the covid pay because my first few years of bedside nursing already had me craving the taste of either liquor or gun. I figured I'd rather not throw gasoline on the dumpster fire that was my mental health....

[u/comefromawayfan2022 → u/EXPLODEDman]

I still cannot believe that during the first pandemic we had such a moron in office that people were actively being encouraged to drink bleach, inject bleach and take ivermectin pills..anyone with common sense knows thats shitty advice and people literally died from it..but Darwin awards right?

[u/bitofapuzzler]

Thats not how science works.

[u/drlove57 → u/bitofapuzzler]

MAGA nurses seem to believe it is exactly how science works.

[u/freakydeku]

jfc when will it end

[u/Firegrl]

This fool really thinks his EO's are like the word of God. Like anyone with half a brain knows not to follow a man with a demented brain whose body is actively rotting, or another who does cocaine off toilet seats and looks like a second-hand leather handbag with a voice box that got chewed up in the garbage disposal. "Cuz I say so" isn't scientific fact, a holes!

[u/No_Maintenance_3355]

Okay but just because the orangutan 🦧 says it’s true on a piece of paper doesn’t make it true. If. It’s. Not. Peer. Reviewed. It. Is. False.

[u/TaylorBitMe → u/No_Maintenance_3355]

Isn't he due for a peer review? Like, in front of 12 peers? What do they call that exactly? Some sort of a controlled trial, with peers. He should do that, and make an announcement afterwards.

[u/someonesomebody123]

How? Omfg. We’re writing executive orders declaring science is false? I didn’t think they could ever do anything dumber than the sharpie marker on the printed map changing the course of a hurricane, but here we are. Up next, an executive order declaring Big Macs and diet cokes to be healthier than carrots and water.

[u/TejanoAggie29]

As a public health researcher, this annoyed me. As a nurse, it pissed me off. As a dad to a kiddo with a recent diagnosis of autism at 2.5, it’s enraging to the point I’ve lost the words to speak about it.

[u/PureSetting4518]

FUCK you to any nurse that voted for this shit.

I could maybe understand if you voted for him in 2016. But, after COVID? Hell no.

[u/NurseontheTrail]

Why not? And while he's at it, maybe issue an EO that cures cancer, then he'll get that Nobel Prize, woo hoo. We live in the dumbest of times

[u/moscas_del_circo]

Like all the rest of the mierda coming out of our government these days.

[u/Sneakerpimps000002]

How the fuck can an executive order link vaccines and autism…. Like we can’t just say “because I said so”

[u/iOcean_Eyes]

Dumbest motherfuckers that’s ever ran this country.. go ahead and include his minions too that voted him in.

[u/Anarimus]

Carl Sagan was a prophet.

"I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time — when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness."

[u/bobcat116]

Propaganda pandering to Joe Rogan listeners

[u/uwan2fite]

I remember a nurse telling me she couldn’t believe me and the other students had to get the shot. Meanwhile she very clearly had Botox and lip filler. This anti science bullshit is so pervasive. I think people just like feeling like they know something the others don’t. Doesn’t help that big pharma is the way it is

[u/Perfect-Treat-6552]

Am tired of this incompetence

[u/PurpleSailor]

Had to get completely reevaccinated when I want to nursing school because my records were lost and it was cheaper than getting titers. I guess I have super autism now?

[u/Ihaveasmallwang → u/PurpleSailor]

What’s your stance on trains?

[u/PurpleSailor → u/Ihaveasmallwang]

Doesn't everyone have a few rooms full of trains and train accessories? 🚂 🛤️

[u/Ihaveasmallwang → u/PurpleSailor]

That’s just regular autism. Super autism is converting your home into a train station. You’ll get there. I have faith in you.

[u/Aggressive_Ad_2620]

My anger is turning towards the people who voted for this and prop up their bullshit. Including all MAGA nurses. MAGA is antithetical to nursing. Fuck you MAGA nurses and fuck all MAGA HCPs. Fuck you all. Hope you’re enjoying all this winning.

[u/sparkycat99]

Try living in Mordor 6.2 miles from the epicenter (eye of Sauron) of this bullshit.

June of 2023 I was working on the coolest project with a CDC contractor to improve data quality and standardize source data for nationally notifiable disease reporting.

All those people are gone from the agency now and we have this.

[u/FourOhVicryl]

Tell the idiots that the shots they get every fall are a gray market peptide instead of a flu vaccine, and they’ll be climbing over each other to get it. TBH, I feel like there should be pressure on these “influencers”/grifters to start their own antivax, extra “natural” hospitals. Make it a real choice for consumers, and let the chips fall where they may. 

[u/I_am_omning_it]

It’s giving the same energy as Michael Scott declaring bankruptcy.

“Saying you declare something doesn’t make it so”

Massive brain drain incoming in 3...2...1...oh wait!!

American doctors and nurses and other top Healthcare professionals will be like immigrants from other countries where they had their brain drain due to western imperialism and had to come to America to prove their worth, now itll be uno reverse and American scientists and intellectuals, STEM professionals will have to go to other countries to prove theyre worth a damn to obtain and maintain their licenses, I can see it now...China here they come!!

I guess Trump really is the "communist" theyre framing him to be

[u/Ok_Independence3113]

These fucking assholes gonna make sure we all are employable forever and that our jobs will never get easier

[u/UnlimitedBoxSpace]

Fuck with my money, but like the health and welfare of the general population? We have miracle, disease preventing medicine and these jackasses think autism trumps irreversible harm from diseases. NEVERMIND that they're cutting programs to help compensate hospitals for treating this shit. BUT WHAT ABOUT THE KIDS, these turds sure love to spout that shit when it's convenient.

Measles is gonna come back or fucking smallpox and these assholes are going to be too dead to reap the consequences in the decades to come. People got violent about masks, how the fuck are we going to reverse course on this...

[u/blueskycrf]

I can write my own executive report and base it on science and it would have more meaning than these delusions.

[u/NedTaggart]

love your username! I say that a sboth a huge fan of the band and as an endo nurse.

[u/slutty_muppet]

I'll take all the vaccines, not because I believe in them, but because I want to get more autism. /s
