𝕊𝕦𝕟𝕕𝕒𝕖 𝔾𝕦𝕣𝕝35Did you see him five minutes later?
Tim McFarland19Yep. They are going to kill more children and tell more lies.
Michigan mom of 310He told a bunch of lies and then he took a nap.
Defend Democracy9I’m 61 and I recently went to my doctor for my annual physical and she tested me for MMR I was afraid, since I travel a lot, that I might get the measles. How long those vaccines lasted back in the 60s? Turns out I’m positive, which is a good thing I’d rather have a vaccine then get shingles.
ML McCorkle as mlynnmc7Who's going to pay for THREE doctor visits, especially with Medicaid crippled and insurance rates skyrocketing?
Deepwader5Imagine a former heroin addict advising a convicted felon. Good thing the decision about vaccines is not his to make.
Eric Michael Garcia63For what it’s worth, Minnesota has a thriving autism community. When Harris announced Tim Walz, disability rights advocates in the state were optimistic. Had Harris and Walz won, the Walz family likely would have focused on disability.
Sande2EXECUTIVE ORDERS ARE NOT THE LAW. Especially those written by an idiot under the direction of Secretary Serial Killer, RFK Jr. (An idiot who I am sure will see that his grandchildren are vaccinated) That's a NO from me.
No, there's no reason to split up the MMR vaccine. No, vaccines don't come in vats. Yes, a lot "bad can happen from what we’re doing."
Alex Merz 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇦4At some point y'all need to say plainly what these statements are. They are not mere misstatements or falsehoods. They are brazen lies.
MrsMNash4The dose for a MMR is 0.05mL about 1/10th of a teaspoon. So so much less than a can of soda 🙄
𝐈𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐭4i got several vaccines at once to get it over with. i read up on it beforehand. there are advantages to doing it that way, and even to getting them in the same arm. not all vaccines make you feel lousy afterward. ignore these morons with agendas, talk to your pharmacist and doctor.
Nordic but Nice3The original autism MMR lie was made up by Wakefield because he worked for and had shares in a company that made a single Measles vaccine
flyovercountry76.bsky.social2LAWSUIT TIME. again. I hope the entire associations of pediatricians and infectious disease specialists join together to sue his ass for violating the APA in overturning scientific recommendations.
reexamineall.bsky.social1His evidence? He heard someone say they heard something about it. Or something like that. His incoherence makes listening to him challenging. Well, that and his repulsiveness.
Kathleen Bachynski27Excellent summary of an excellent fact check. “Splitting the M.M.R. vaccine serves “no medical purpose and would force parents to make multiple appointments, needlessly take time off work and make child care arrangements” 
Tanya.17You know what’s super-fun, as a parent? Attending multiple appointments and holding a screaming baby multiple times instead of just once, for NO FUCKING REASON.
Prof Gavin Yamey MD MPH8Thank you to @maggieastor.bsky.social, @apoorvanyt.bsky.social & Dani Blum for an excellent debunking of the harmful anti-science, anti-vaccine tropes peddled by Trump, with RFK Jr & Jay Bhattacharya at his side
Sarah Karlin-Smith5Yes. All headline-able, leadable lines here. Lead with the truth.
Whitney Zahnd3Not only is this not evidence-based, it’s coming at a time when fewer children are insured making more frequent visits to get vaccines much more expensive.
The Massachusetts Spy2I blame liberal elite medical researchers for not understanding the legitimate concerns of people who take medical advice from a Mad King and a heroin-demented sadist (H/t all pundits)
The Massachusetts Spy2There is no one home at senior levels of any branch of the United States government. Good night and good luck.
Remember: States, not the federal government, set vaccination requirements for children. Many have said they no longer follow vaccine recommendations from the federal government and instead follow those from the American Academy of Pediatrics and major medical organizations. They need to hold firm.
Benjamin D Lane3If insurance companies are still competent, I expect they will see that it is very much in their interest to keep covering vaccines.
Shoshanah in Alaska1How will this affect access and insurance coverage?
mgallitano.bsky.social1The problem becomes that insurance companies won’t pay for vaccines the CDC doesn’t recommend.
The executive order has no legal authority, so it’s mainly a piece of paper with Trump’s signature on it. His administration has already made measles great again.
andreigrigoriu.bsky.social38Time to quarantine US Americans when travelling abroad
Tractus Fynn8Why do I think money and profit is behind this decision? 😬
FemPowerhouse3Maybe wealthy doctors should stop voting republican or the clown show will continue.
For The Defense3Why does it always have to be the "gold" standard? Can't we just have the "healthy" standard?
2ndact.bsky.social1He doesn’t have a license to practice medicine. That would be like me ordering a general what to do with his troops.
JuanitaIguana11Maybe everyone can just ignore Trump and his orders.
It's even worse... " All childhood immunizations should be administered at separate medical visits." -- imagine the added costs and hassle to families! --- www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
Linda James32Next up: Each tooth should be cleaned in a separate dental visit.
Stacy Federick11That's up to 72 to 84 total visits by age 18. My 2 kids are adults, and I'd estimate that they've seen their pediatricians maybe 50 times total.
Something From Summer8When you already can’t get an appointment…
This admin is filled with dumb people supporting a huge idiot (all of whom are out of touch with how ordinary people live) so this will get walked back just like the Hamas deal, the Saudi nuclear sharing deal, the Iran war, etc. On and on and on with dumbness, millions of miles of bad ideas.
Emmy2This is the dumbest thing ever
Albany Cheshire1White House says you need to poke your kid with more needles more often.
Bill Grueskin199This is from a man who's never had to schedule an appointment with a pediatrician. These doctors' offices tend to be incredibly overbooked as is. Especially in underserved communities. This is a nightmare for them.
Julian Sanchez136What, you don’t have infinite money and a small army of servants to raise your children for you?
Writing "Don't worry about it" on tax form43Everything is gender, but everything that isn't gender is rentseeking
Eric Columbus37“Furthermore, all children under 16 years old are now 16 years old.”
Mac the squirrel :)6A per diem pediatrician wrote these guidelines
Jesse Singal Vapes Piss6that would almost certainly up the amount that children would get of whatever bad thing the cranks are insisting are in vaccines this week. Kids don't actually get 72 separate shots, but this EO is demanding that they do.
President Donald Trump has signed an executive order calling for fewer childhood vaccines and spacing out shots across separate doctor visits.
Scott Heathcoat14Q: Are executive orders considered laws? A: No, executive orders guide executive branch department and agency operations. Only Congress can create federal law.
IdiocracyIsTrue9How can one addled man's "people are saying" replace 200 years of science??!?
helchose.bsky.social7Yes, let’s burden both new parents and pediatricians with FIVE doctor visits instead of one for absolutely no legitimate medical reason. A masterstroke, sir.
Blackraven5Yea because he's an expert 🤦♀️
David Passmore5Why did you not report on him sleeping throughout the event?
Paul Lembo 4Fucking madness. Impeach. Convict. Remove.
Jonathan Howard13And bhattacharya is lying about Fauci on Fox News.
Thaddeus is a girl's name 🏳️⚧️12there are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. if the word HATE was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the HATE i feel for these fascists at this micro-instant. HATE. HATE.
Mx Maddison Stoff9"the facts do not support the president's claim" yeah no shit
Richard Ferro, MD MSc8Remember when people told us we were overreacting when we said this is what would happen after RFK Jr got appointed to the Department of Health and Human Services?
Shawn Connery 4We live in the dumbest timeline
phyphor3Fraudster Wakefield, who pushed antivax bullshit to get the NHS to move from the combined MMR jab to separate vaccines because he was getting paid off to do so. Decades later children are dying and his bullshit is being pushed by the US administration. (NB: an Executive Order isn't a law).
apnews.com/article/vacc... Trump signed an executive order calling for revamped childhood vaccine recommendations. Order recommends separating the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine into three different shots administered in separate visits.
JamaPeggy7New vaccine manufacture and more doctor visits sounds like DT is trying to increase income for doctors and drug manufacturers any old ineffective way.
SILENCE IS NOT GOLDEN (Lisa)5As we all know, Trump has his doctorate in dumbass.
Dave3Neither Brainworm Boy or the felon have medical licenses. They should be arrested for practicing medicine without a license!🤬😡🤬
Bobbi VirgoVeruka (she/her)3And insurance will cover that? Riiiight.
Donna West3Why fix something that IS NOT BROKEN! TRimp and Ralf K need to mind their own business! Quit fing everything up!
Gondor calls for aid3So children need 3 shots rather than one. Parents need to take 3 days off work (per kid in some cases).
TRUMP SIGNS EXECUTIVE ORDER ELIMINATING SOME LIFE SAVING VACCINES FOR CHILDREN!! #Blues
On life's Journey3I never thought I's live to see a US Political Party implant national policies that engager so many babies and children's healthy & lives. THIS IS THE 2026 GOP CONGRESS. CRUELEST CONGRESS EVER.
Blue Todd 2.01Hi Sandy 👋 He's a puppet with a sharpie 🤡 #Blues
WillyWonkasTherapist1Trump seems to waiver back-and-forth between wanting to bang kids and wanting to kill them.
IanSeine™️1“We’re going to learn a lot” trump says at EO VACCINE signing. Yeah at the expense of children’s lives! Scientists & Doctors have had enough!
