And then a year later, "zero progress" and White House cut off communications....Well, looks like Mr I Won't Back Down Trump backed down pretty quick:Kennedy said Trump’s transition team first called him in December and he first spoke with the president-elect by phone in early January. According to Kennedy, Trump said he knew the pharmaceutical industry would combat any efforts to question vaccine safety. “I’m not going to back down,” Trump said, according to Kennedy.
Trump, Kennedy recalled, said he had five friends whose children seemed to have changed after receiving vaccines.
Kennedy’s meeting at Trump Tower sparked outrage from scientists and public health experts, who fear the administration could give legitimacy to skeptics of childhood immunizations despite scientific research demonstrating that vaccines are safe. Many of those skeptics believe vaccines are a cause of autism.
After the meeting, Kennedy said, Trump’s staff told him to speak with reporters about his discussions with the president. Hours later, however, a spokeswoman for Trump said “no decisions have been made at this time” about a possible vaccine panel.
On Wednesday, Kennedy told reporters that Trump aides called him after the meeting and said they had “got out over our skis” and the concept still needed to be vetted.

And, now, here we are 2020, and Trumpstein is 100% on board with the vaccines!! He's been flipped, totally a puppet now, taking orders.Before assuming office last year, then-President-elect Donald Trump took a controversial meeting with vaccine skeptic Robert Kennedy Jr. to discuss a commission to investigate vaccine safety, Kennedy told reporters at the time.
An immediate uproar ensued, but after a month of pushback, the political scion said the plans were still on.
Now, more than a year later, Kennedy told The Guardian he hasn't heard from the White House in six months. He said there's been "zero progress" and that the administration has cut off communications.
Kennedy and others have pushed for the administration to investigate the disproven theory that vaccines can cause autism. The community who supported Trump because of his tone on vaccines—the president has questioned their safety numerous times—feels betrayed, Kennedy told the newspaper. Founder of World Mercury Project, Kennedy said he believes the president has caved to industry pressure.
