New York rejected Trump's executive order cutting vaccines and instead enforced its own immunization schedule. Several other states are now following New York's lead and openly defying the federal mandate. This is a direct state-versus-federal confrontation, with states saying they'll use their own authority rather than comply with Trump's order.
This is federalism in practice: states exercising power over health policy that the Constitution gives them. Trump can try to cut federal funding to states that defy him, but he can't force them to stop vaccinating children. The domino effect matters — if five states defect and nothing happens to them, more will follow. If Trump retaliates aggressively, he might push more states into open rebellion.
