Trump defies scientists - wants to investigate childhood vaccines
Donald Trump's administration intends to investigate whether there is a link between childhood vaccines and the rising number of autism diagnoses in the United States. This is what the newly elected president says in an interview with Time, which named him person of the year on Thursday.
- We will have a big discussion. The frequency of autism is at a level that no one thought possible. If you look at things that are happening, something is causing this," Trump said.
Scientists have repeatedly debunked the theory that vaccines cause autism. Despite this, vaccine skeptics, including Trump's pick for health secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, are calling for even more research in the field.

Zuckerberg donates millions to Trump
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg donates one million dollars to Donald Trump, the Wall Street Journal reports. The money, equivalent to almost SEK 11 million, is to be paid to Trump's so-called installation fund.
Facebook suspended Trump from the platform after the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021. However, the tone between Zuckerberg and Trump has softened significantly in line with the latter's political success, the newspaper reports. Mark Zuckerberg congratulated Trump after the election victory and shortly afterwards he was invited to Trump's residence Mar-a-lago.

Analysis: Trump's election is an attack on journalism
It is not really the president's job to appoint the head of the state-run US news channel Voice of America. Yet that is exactly what Donald Trump is trying to do.
But the appointment of Kari Lake, who, among other things, denied Trump's loss in the 2020 election, is more complicated than the president pretends. That's what CNN's Brian Stelter writes. The channel has a so-called firewall that prohibits the US government from interfering in the independent reporting.
"So far, Trump's announcement is more of a proposal—albeit a very influential one," Stelter writes.
Trump's choice of Lake is a "clearly politically motivated attack on journalistic values," says Matt Gertz of the left-leaning media watchdog Media Matters for America.
"It shows the level of loyalty that Trump expects from the press," writes Gertz.

The shift in power
1,500 criminals are pardoned by Joe Biden
Joe Biden has pardoned nearly 1,500 convicted felons, reports ABC News. It is the biggest pardon in modern times, according to the television channel.
This mainly applies to prisoners who had their prison sentences converted to house arrest during the covid pandemic and who now have the rest of their sentences written off. In addition, the convictions of 39 people convicted of non-violent crimes are overturned.
- America was founded on a promise of opportunity and second chances, says Joe Biden.
The second largest pardon was carried out by Barack Obama shortly before he left the White House in 2017. It then included 330 people.
