Offit: Trump's Vaccine Order Lacks Medical Merit

Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, criticized President Trump's executive order on childhood vaccines, comparing it to his earlier suggestion to drink bleach. Offit noted that the idea of separating the MMR vaccine stems from Andrew Wakefield's retracted 1998 paper linking the vaccine to autism. He argued that if the vaccine doesn't cause autism, splitting it into separate doses would not reduce any risk.
