Trump's executive order slashed funding for vaccine programs. The American Academy of Pediatrics called the move dangerous, warning it could revive outbreaks of preventable diseases.
Trump's executive order slashed funding for vaccine programs, and the American Academy of Pediatrics immediately warned the move could revive outbreaks of preventable diseases like measles and polio. The cuts affect programs that have eliminated or nearly eliminated several diseases in the U.S. for decades.
The pediatricians aren't being alarmist — they're pointing out that vaccine funding gaps create conditions for outbreaks. Once disease elimination breaks, it takes years to rebuild. If measles or pertussis cases spike, the health system will scramble to catch up, but the damage happens first. This is one of those policy moves where the consequences aren't immediate but they're predictable.
