Immunologist warns vaccine order could erode trust in science and harm kids

The president of the American Association of Immunologists argues that a recent executive order on childhood vaccines contradicts established scientific evidence and could undermine public confidence in immunization. The order proposes changes to the vaccine schedule and splitting the MMR shot, which the author says bypasses the transparent expert review process that has guided U.S. vaccine policy for decades. Even if the order doesn't immediately alter policy, it sets a dangerous precedent by replacing scientific guidance with political directives.
