Trump Signs Executive Order Cutting Vaccines, Promoting Nonexistent Ones
Trump has signed an executive order slashing vaccine programmes and championing vaccines that do not yet exist, falsely claiming the MMR shot is "quite lethal" and linking it to autism. The order marks one of the most direct federal interventions against established immunisation policy in modern US history. The MMR vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps, and rubella, has been in use for over 50 years with an extensive safety record.
