Summary

Donald Trump plans to discuss potentially ending childhood vaccination programs with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., his nominee for Health and Human Services.

Trump expressed openness to revisiting vaccine policies, citing concerns about autism rates, despite scientific consensus debunking links between vaccines and autism.

Critics warn reducing vaccinations could lead to outbreaks of preventable diseases like measles.

Kennedy, known for questioning vaccine safety, would oversee the CDC if confirmed.

Public health experts remain concerned about the implications.

    From what I learn from being alive, if people are required or forced to do something, they probably aren’t. Much like volunteering, most people don’t volunteer, heck, jury duty is required yet people don’t want to do it. Imagine if voting was required by law, how this would change things.

      I’m not sure i understand what you’re getting at. By that logic, if voting was required, wouldn’t people vote even less?
