The Trump administration plans to award a no-bid contract to Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to research a potential link between vaccines and autism. The contract is being awarded due to RPI's claimed unique ability to link data on children and mothers. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has previously expressed a desire to investigate this connection. Scientists have extensively studied and found no credible link between vaccines and autism, with research spanning two decades and involving millions of people.
