Trump’s radical vaccine order sparks public-health alarm

Michael Hiltzik denounces President Trump’s executive order to overhaul childhood vaccines, reducing the recommended schedule, pushing for separate MMR vaccines, and encouraging exemptions, arguing the plan is scientifically flawed, impractical, and likely to confuse parents and raise costs. He notes that states and health professionals are unlikely to follow federal directions, and experts say bundled vaccines are safer and more efficient, making this a dangerous public-health misstep.
