Donald Trump is reportedly urging Robert F. Kennedy Jr, the current US health secretary and longtime vaccine opponent, to take a more aggressive stance on cutting vaccines in the United States. According to reporting from the Wall Street Journal, Trump, who has a history of anti-vaccine statements, remains focused on reducing vaccine administration as part of efforts to address autism concerns.

However, the White House recently halted plans to change the vaccine schedule after polling showed that such moves were unpopular and could negatively impact the midterm elections. Despite this, Trump continues to push for more significant vaccine reductions.

This development highlights ongoing tensions within the administration regarding public health policy and vaccine schedules.
