On May 1, 2019, Cory Booker made a statement on vaccines for Buzzfeed News:
“First and foremost, vaccines are proven to reduce the incidence of terrible disease. Vaccines keep people safe and healthy. We need to trust the scientists who work to develop vaccines and the medical professionals who administer them.”
Booker added that there is no scientific link between vaccines and autism:
“We should limit the number of exemptions from vaccinations to a small number of medical circumstances,” he said.
