President Trump signed an executive order on Monday afternoon aimed at changing the vaccination schedule for American children. This order was signed in a ceremony in the Oval Office.
The order proposes reducing the number of childhood vaccines recommended by federal guidelines. It also suggests dividing the combined MMR vaccine, which currently protects against measles, mumps, rubella, and chickenpox, into separate shots.
In addition, the executive order directs the Justice Department to urge states to decrease the number of vaccines required for school attendance. Similar previous efforts have faced legal challenges.
During the signing, President Trump mentioned a need to re-evaluate vaccines in the context of rising autism rates. This statement references a theory linking vaccines to autism, which has been thoroughly discredited by scientific research.
Vaccine critics welcomed the news, while public health experts strongly opposed the executive order, emphasizing the enduring benefits of the current vaccination protocols.
