Despite lacking anything remotely like evidence, the White House just tried to remake the childhood vaccine schedule by fiat. No support from pediatricians, and no success in court—no problem! They’ve got executive orders to spare. 1/4 publichealth.jhu.edu/2026/what-do...

As in the related EO earlier this year, the White House claims the order brings us in line with peer nations. But the US is peerless 💅: We pay more for care, have worse outcomes, and lack universal healthcare coverage. Fewer vaccines are hardly the answer. 2/4 www.statnews.com/2026/08/10/t...

The order also pushes for splitting the MMR vaccine into 3 separate shots. That will require more visits, making doctors’ and parents’ lives worse. But—oops—separate shots do not currently exist in the US, and manufacturers have little interest in producing them. 3/4 www.statnews.com/2026/08/11/h...

Fortunately, an executive order cannot make most of these changes, with one exception. The EO directs the attorney general to sue states over religious exemptions to school vaccine mandates. That’s only…80 years of Supreme Court precedent to upend. 4/4 www.celinegounder.com/p/trump-chil...

celinegounder.comTrump said the vaccine order was about autism. It never says autism.The order cuts the recommended list from 18 diseases to 11, tells manufacturers to split a shot nobody makes, and hands the Attorney General the only part a president can actually execute.
