Trump Signs Executive Order Calling for Fewer Childhood Vaccinations The executive order signed by President Donald Trump last Monday has sparked intense criticism from health experts, who warn that the proposed changes to the childhood vaccination schedule will leave more children vulnerable to preventable diseases.
This decision reflects a disturbing trend in public health policy: the conflation of ideology with scientific evidence.
Proponents of the order claim that limiting the inoculation schedule to 11 immunizations will align the US with peer nations and provide children with "gold standard" protection.
