Kennedy Junior is also grabbing ideological ground.

Although he gained Senate confirmation by assuring Senator Bill Cassidy, a Republican of Louisiana, a medical doctor, that he would not change the nation's vaccine schedule, he began reworking it almost as soon as he was confirmed.

States have the authority to determine which vaccines will be required for attendance at public school.

But in January, the administration cut the number of vaccines the government recommended for children, ceasing to recommend vaccines against influenza, rotavirus, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, some forms of meningitis, or RSV.

On Monday, even as measles outbreaks are growing in the US, Trump issued an executive order to force states to revise their recommendations on childhood vaccinations.
podcast-host
The order calls for recommending that the measles, mumps, and rubella, or MMR vaccine, be separated into three separate single disease shots to be administered at separate appointments, although such separate vaccinations aren't even available in the US.
podcast-host
While Trump falsely claimed that there could be a possibility that the vaccines are quite lethal in an MMR shot, utter nonsense, he said that separating the vaccines means they will be very effective.
podcast-host
In fact, years of evidence have proved that the MMR vaccine is safe and effective.
podcast-host
But what separating the vaccines would do is to guarantee that fewer children would be fully vaccinated.
podcast-host
Separate vaccines means more visits to the doctor, often spaced at specific intervals.
podcast-host
Studies show that separating the vaccines makes children from poor families less likely to get the full schedule of vaccines, leaving them and their communities more vulnerable to disease than wealthier Americans.

The executive order will not change the recommendation of the centers for disease control and prevention or probably insurance coverage.
podcast-host
What it will do is sow confusion over vaccines, as Kennedy has done for years.
podcast-host
Trump called the announcement a major victory for parents' rights, religious and constitutional rights, and for the gold standard science.
podcast-host
When asked if he regretted his vote to confirm the anti vaccination activist Kennedy to head the nation's health department, Cassidy told CNBC's Squawkbox.

If you're going to tell me I was somebody didn't tell me the truth and I should have like, you know, seen in the future they were not gonna tell the truth, you can say, Oh, Bill, you should have seen into the future.
podcast-host
In which case I'd be on your show talking about the futures of stocks as opposed to vaccine policy.
