President Trump is taking American public-health policy back from globalist control, this time by reshaping childhood vaccine recommendations despite the World Health Organization’s objections. President Trump signed an order directing much-needed changes to the childhood vaccination schedule, including spacing out the measles, mumps and rubella vaccines rather than relying exclusively on the combined MMR shot.
His administration has made the case that the changes are necessary to give parents more flexibility while aligning U.S. recommendations with scientific evidence and practices in other developed nations. Predictably, the WHO lashed out at the Trump administration, defending its recommendations to pump as many Big Pharma shots into the bodies of children as possible. This response from the WHO is music to the ears of the MAGA faithful.
The COVID-19 pandemic badly damaged public confidence in global health authorities, which was led by the WHO. Guidance changed repeatedly, legitimate scientific inquiry was purposefully stifled, and fearmongering propaganda warped the public’s psyche in ways we are only beginning to comprehend.
Whatever one’s view of vaccines may be, Americans should never outsource critical health-policy decisions to an unaccountable and discredited international bureaucracy.
President Trump’s order indicates that public health will now answer to American families, American doctors and American institutions, not global organizations obsessed with mandates and forced compliance. The WHO can feel free to offer advice. It will likely fall on deaf ears with the Trump administration and rightfully so. We are making America healthy again, and if that offends the enemies of American sovereignty, so be it.
