Under the draft EO obtained by WaPo, dubbed “Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations,” the White House would divide #vaccines into 3 categories & direct federal agencies to take steps to advance them. It calls for rethinking the long-standing practice of grouping vaccines to reduce the […]

“To the maximum extent feasible, all childhood immunizations should be administered at separate medical visits,” the draft says. The order would also pursue a long-standing priority of #Trump’s∶ breaking up the combined #measles, mumps & rubella vaccine into 3 separate shots. It says the #MMR […]

#Trump is expected to sign the EO as soon as Monday. Under the plan, #vaccines against 11 #diseases — including measles, mumps, rubella, polio & whooping cough — would be recommended for all #children. Vaccines against several other diseases, including hepatitis A & B and meningococcal disease […]

…The potential order obtained by WaPo would represent the latest effort by the #Trump admin to sharply reshape the nation’s childhood immunization policies. In January, the admin moved to reduce the number of #vaccines routinely recommended for all #children, bypassing the government’s […]

A federal judge in March blocked the admin from implementing those changes, siding with major medical organizations that argued “Health” Secy #RFKJr had unlawfully changed vaccine policy & improperly reconstituted the federal panel of outside experts that advises the government on #vaccines […]

The new draft explicitly acknowledges that the #Trump administration’s earlier #vaccine directives have been “delayed due to litigation” & instructs federal agencies to advance the new recommendations “to the fullest extent allowable by law.” #PublicHealth #medicine #RFKJr #affordability […]

Under the draft order, the White House is calling for proposed changes to come within 90 days from the health dept’s Task Force on Safer Childhood Vaccines — a long-defunct panel resurrected last year to the cheers of #AntiVax activists. The task force should “assess the ideal timing & […]

It also calls for the development of more alternative adjuvants to aluminum. Adjuvants are ingredients added to #vaccines that help the body produce an immune response to offer protection from #diseases. Some high-level #FDA ofcls last year believed it would be infeasible to take aluminum […]

@Nonilex Since when does the president decide vaccine schedules? This is fucking stupid.

RalfMaximus · 0 · 2h ago

@darwinwoodka @Nonilex Luckily he doesn't. All he can do is sign the Executive Order which strongly suggests STATES reconsider the vaccination schedules required for school. Ultimately it's up to the States. And many will middle-finger the suggestion and stick to their existing schedules […]

@ralfmaximus @Nonilex One of the things that really gets me about Trump is how he hurts his own voters. He does NOTHING for them and actively harms them yet they seem to think he's great. They truly are morons.

@Nonilex great, let's let a dementia patient, and a brain worm decide health policy for an generation of kids... Have y'all considered... maybe listening to scientists?

@Nonilex The Trump regime never considers that working parents cannot take unlimited days off to take their children to a separate doctor visit for each shot. The Trump regime seems to think that every parent can either take unlimited days off, or has a nanny who can drive their kids to the […]
