8月6日(路透社)——一位了解相关讨论的消息人士周四表示,特朗普政府正在考虑就疫苗与自闭症发布一项行政令,最早可能于下周公布。
据这位要求匿名以披露内部讨论细节的消息人士透露,此举源于唐纳德·特朗普总统对进一步推进自闭症相关举措的兴趣。该行政令的具体范围尚未披露,彭博新闻社此前已对此事进行了报道。

由卫生与公众服务部部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪领导的特朗普政府一直在推进针对疫苗与自闭症的新研究,尽管过去二十年间涉及数百万人的多项研究均已得出结论:二者之间不存在可信关联。
白宫发言人库什·德赛在一份声明中表示:“特朗普总统一直明确表示:美国必须拥有全球最完善的儿童疫苗接种计划。本届政府将坚定不移地践行这一总统优先事项,以金标准科学回应无数家长对疫苗接种的疑问与担忧,这些疑问和担忧此前一直被忽视或嘲讽。”
美国卫生与公众服务部未立即回应路透社的置评请求。
路透社上月报道称,尽管特朗普的政治顾问曾建议肯尼迪在11月的中期选举前避开疫苗相关议题,担心此举可能损害共和党利益,但特朗普仍在私下持续向肯尼迪施压,询问疫苗领域的新进展,以及这位卫生部长是否最终能证明自闭症与疫苗之间存在关联。
去年,特朗普将自闭症与儿童疫苗接种以及孕期使用热门止痛药泰诺联系在一起,将缺乏科学依据的言论推到了美国卫生政策的前沿。
长期以来的反疫苗活动人士肯尼迪曾将疫苗与自闭症挂钩,并声称没有任何疫苗是安全的。他在3月遭遇挫折,一项法院裁决阻止了他改写美国疫苗政策以及改组国家免疫咨询委员会的核心举措。

Aug 6 (Reuters) – The Trump administration is considering an executive order on vaccines and autism that could be released as soon as next week, a person familiar with the discussions said on Thursday.
The effort is driven by President Donald Trump’s interest in further action on autism, according to the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity to reveal private discussions. The source did not provide details of the scope of the executive order, which was reported earlier by Bloomberg News.

The Trump administration, led by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., has pursued new studies into vaccines and autism despite research involving millions of people over the past two decades that has concluded there is no credible link.
“President Trump has been clear: America must have the best childhood vaccine schedule in the world,” White House spokesman Kush Desai said in a statement. “The Administration remains steadfastly committed to delivering on this presidential priority with Gold Standard Science for the countless parents whose questions and concerns about vaccinations have been ignored or mocked.”
The Department of Health and Human Services did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
Trump’s push for an executive order comes even as his own political advisers urged Kennedy to stay away from vaccine-related issues until after November’s midterm elections, out of concern it could hurt Republicans. But Trump has continued to press Kennedy in private, asking him what new efforts are underway on vaccines and whether the health secretary believes he will ultimately prove a link with autism, Reuters reported last month.
Last year, Trump linked autism to childhood vaccines and to the use of popular pain medication Tylenol during pregnancy, bringing claims not supported by scientific evidence to the forefront of U.S. health policy.
Kennedy, a longtime anti-vaccine activist who has associated vaccines with autism and claimed that no vaccine is safe, faced a setback in March when a court ruling blocked key elements of his efforts to rewrite U.S. vaccine policy and revamp a national advisory panel on immunizations.
