President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order backing fewer routine vaccines for kids, calling to whittle down the number of recommended childhood shots to 11 while falsely tying immunizations to autism.
The order builds on the Trump administration’s efforts to reshape the childhood shot schedule under Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime vaccine skeptic.
“This updated recommendation finally aligns the United States with other advanced and developed nations around the world,” Trump said during a briefing on Monday. “More importantly, it aligns us with common sense and knowledge.”

He also called for splitting the combination measles, mumps and rubella, or MMR, vaccine into three separate single-disease shots.
“The MMR we want to have separate visits, separate times. The vaccine being broken into three separate single doses and vaccines being administered in separate visits,” Trump said.
The order also directs the Department of Justice to investigate where states are in violation of exemptions for childhood vaccine mandates, including parental authority and disability accommodations as well as religious and medical reasons.
It’s not the first time the administration has taken aim at the MMR vaccine and the related MMRV shot, which adds the varicella vaccine to inoculate against chickenpox. Last year, a key vaccine advisory panel to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also weakened recommendations for the MMRV shot for children under age 4.

In fact, what POTUS just did is what many of us have been calling for all along.
Kudos, DJT.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. links vaccines to autism because of his long-standing focus on “environmental toxins” and his foundational belief that the rising rates of autism constitute an “epidemic” caused by regulatory capture and industrial exposures.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re linked to the jump in asthma and food allergy stuff that seemed to have exploded in numbers around the same time they started the “massive vax” inundation.
I believe the research demonstrating linkage between high fevers in infants having received the combo jabs and neurological deficits - such as autism - is rather compelling.
I guess the naysaying researchers need to do more research.
If vaxxes are falsely linked to autism, why don’t they tell us what has caused the massive spike in autism that happened roughly at the same time as the massive spike in early childhood vaxxes? They can’t but insist it can’t possibly be the vaxxes.
If this EO stands without activist judicial action, I expect the resulting data in only 5 years to be compelling.
Right as rain.
Why do we take these people seriously?
Its hilarious watching these commies bend over backwards to defend vaccines..all because they are ALL in bed with big pharma doing their bidding
They did expand the autism spectrum. More things you call autism the larger number of autism cases. I’ve never seen any statistics that factors that in.
Autism rates have gone from 1 in 150 in the year 2000 to 1 in 31, a five times increase. They claim it is due to better screening, a broader autism definition, and more awareness. I have my doubts.
“We” don’t. At least I certainly don’t.
As with all news, read with a filter.
Oh, here they go with the “falsely” word again. Blockheads.
The definition is way too broad. Just like ADHD.
I’ve been involved in the field for 40 years. You used to see mostly downs syndrome clients in group homes. There was the occasional autistic person 30 years ago. Now group homes are 90% autistic and because of abortion virtually no downs syndrome. Expanding the parameters wouldn’t account for the explosion in numbers. Unless you expanded it to include people with brown eyes.
Health and Science Trump signs executive order calling for fewer childhood vaccines, falsely linking shots to autism
There seems to be two categories of Big Pharma products in the lineup concerning autism. In addition to alleged childhood vaccines, Tylenol has also been questioned.
Trump issues blistering new Tylenol warning after linking drug to autism (10.26.25)
This makes it more difficult to pinpoint problems in my non-medical opinion.
Not saying it wasn’t due to the vaccine explosion just saying I’ve seen no statistics that take the expansion of what is autism in consideration. Sadly it may not matter since I trust almost no collected, analyzed statistics these days government or private.
In my experience statistics is poorly taught, done with poorly collected data, poorly analyzed and poorly understood. Manipulation to drive to a desired conclusion is done too often.
Anecdotal evidence but I have known several parents whose kids were developing normally until they got the MMR shot.
That said vaccines could be one cause of autism, but from all the science I have read it appears autism is a symptom of multiple underlying diseases, both environmental and genetic or both. IOW different conditions cause the same symptoms.
