Former President Donald Trump has been making waves with his recent comments about vaccines. In a phone interview with NBC News, he hinted that he might consider banning certain vaccines if he's re-elected. Trump has been vocal about his support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. , who has been known to spread misinformation about vaccines. Kennedy, who ran for president before endorsing Trump, has been a vocal critic of vaccines, claiming they cause autism despite decades of scientific evidence to the contrary.

Trump didn't rule out the idea of banning vaccines when asked about it, saying he'd talk to Kennedy and other experts before making a decision. He's also hinted that Kennedy could play a significant role in health matters if he wins. Kennedy, for his part, has suggested that a Trump administration would ban fluoride in water, calling it "industrial waste. " Trump seemed open to the idea, saying it "sounds okay to me. "

Public health groups support water fluoridation and have emphasized its safety. The Trump team has been embracing Kennedy's views, with members of the transition team and Trump's running mate expressing skepticism about vaccines.
