Gottlieb referenced Kennedy’s long history of vaccine skepticism, which has included false claims that the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine can cause autism. “I think that there’s skepticism in the Republican caucus more than I think the press is reporting right now,” Gottlieb said. “I talked to President Trump about vaccines in my first term,” Gottlieb said.
