"The MMR vaccine is very safe." https://t.co/iZ6zNhiLDO
"No published scientific evidence shows any benefit in separating the combination MMR vaccine into three individual shots.” https://t.co/xnvWsWmMYI
Trump said, "In many cases, we were requiring 72 jabs for a beautiful, healthy, lovely, delicate little children." He didn't explain where he got that "72," but experts have said it appears to separately count every possible dose of a flu vaccine and Covid vaccine before age 18.
