Frankel Responds to Trump’s Dangerous Childhood Vaccine Order

Today, Congresswoman Lois Frankel (FL-22) released the following statement after President Trump signed an executive order overhauling the childhood vaccine schedule and pushing dangerous misinformation about lifesaving vaccines: “Donald Trump’s new executive order changing the childhood vaccine schedule against the advice of pediatric experts is dangerous and makes no sense,” said Rep. Frankel. "Vaccines have saved millions of children from diseases that once killed, paralyzed, and disabled them. These changes could mean more sick children, more trips to the doctor, and higher health care costs for families. Our grandchildren should not be guinea pigs for political ideology or conspiracy theories. As a grandmother, I am furious. Our kids deserve medical decisions based on science, not politics.”
