President Trump said he’s supportive of vaccines on Friday, breaking with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Why it matters: Kennedy has faced widespread criticism for his new vaccine mandates and staffing shake-up at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“I think you have to be very careful when you say that some people don’t have to be vaccinated,” Trump said of Kennedy’s vaccine mandates for children.
“They’re just, pure and simple — they work,” he added. “They’re not controversial at all. And I think those vaccines should be used.”
