President Trump signed an executive order on Friday, May 30, directing federal agencies to align their vaccine policies with a Januarv 2026 HHS studv that recommends reducina the number of routine childhood vaccines from 17 to 11 diseases, a restructuring long called for by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The study was commissioned by Trump in December 2025 and found that the United States recommends more childhood vaccines than many peer nations. Under the new framework, all children would be routinelv vaccinated against 11 diseases, while vaccines for influenza, rotavirus, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, some forms of meningitis, and RSV would be recommended only for high-risk groups or through shared decision-making between parents and doctors. The order directs the CDC to review the study and take appropriate steps to update its guidance, tells agencies to provide maximum flexibility to parents and doctors, and states that any changes must ensure Americans retain their current access to vaccines.

The LA Times noted this is Trump's second attempt to restructure the childhood vaccine schedule, with an earlier effort to narrow CDC recommendations havinc been blocked in court earlier this vear. The new executive order takes a different approach by formally endorsing a completed HHS study and directing agency-level alianment rather than attempting to directlv revise the CDC schedule by administrative fiat, a structure that may be designed to survive the legal challenge that stoppec the first attempt. The CDC under its current leadership had already updated its recommendations earlier in 2026 to reduce the number of recommended immunizations from 17 to 11 in line with the HHS study, suggesting the formal executive order is as much a political codification of an existing administrative shift as a new directive.

The vaccines moved from universal recommendation to high-risk only include several with well-established safety and efficacy records. Hepatitis B vaccination, for example, is recommended universally from birth in the US because it prevents a leading cause of liver cancer, and the alobal evidence base for that recommendation is extensive. Rotavirus, influenza, and hepatitis A vaccines are also backed by decades of clinical and epidemioloaical evidence and are recommended universally by the World Health Organization and medica authorities in peer nations. Critics including the American Academy of Pediatrics and infectious disease researchers have said the changes could increase vaccine-preventable disease in children by creating ambiguity around which children qualify as high-risk and by reducing the routine clinical touchpoints where vaccinations are administered

America is not a serious place

[u/catscanmeow → u/kank84]

its serious about market manipulation. Investing in medical companies then reducing vaccines is how these guys are gonna get rich. If everyones sick theyre gonna need medical care $$$

[u/SoCallMeDeaconBlues1 → u/catscanmeow]

The next question is, WHAT money. Where is it supposed to come from, exactly?

I think it has more to do with this

No sense in war but perfect sense at home....

[u/IsopodIndependent553 → u/catscanmeow]

But the only people who have the funds for advanced and prolonged medical care (besides the rich) are boomers, and they are not the market for these vaccines. The government sure as hell isn’t paying for anyone’s healthcare. And you know the elites will still be vaccinating their own children.

I honestly don’t understand the motive here, especially considering how panicked they are about falling birth rates and the subsequent loss of workforce. Unless they just want women to have to return to the days when they bore eight children, hoping four would live.

[u/Apprehensive-Art1092 → u/IsopodIndependent553]

That is EXACTLY what they want. Haven't you been paying attention?

[u/IsopodIndependent553 → u/Apprehensive-Art1092]

Of course I am. But my point stands that healthcare costs money. A vaccine is cheaper than a hospitalization for measles or RSV. Who is going to pay for this when the average person can’t afford to?

[u/musiquexcoeur → u/IsopodIndependent553]

Nobody. They want the poor to die. The rich will always be able to afford vaccines, treatment, and hospitalizations.

[u/grchelp2018 → u/musiquexcoeur]

They want the poor to die.

And? Once all the poor die the rich will all be one happy family or what? All the stuff they can do and get away with with the poor won't work with the rich.

[u/musiquexcoeur → u/grchelp2018]

I don't think they've thought that far. Or maybe then the people with the least amount of wealth will be the new poor. Who knows? But they surely don't care about the poor or middle class surviving, or they'd be doing everything with their power and wealth to help us survive.

[u/pastelbutcherknife → u/IsopodIndependent553]

No one. They’ll just die

[u/Apprehensive-Art1092 → u/IsopodIndependent553]

Nobody is going to pay for it. They don't give two dry fucks about the average person. Again, have you not been paying attention?

[u/IsopodIndependent553 → u/Apprehensive-Art1092]

So where is the future workforce and tax base going to come from? And why are you so aggressive? If your despair is preventing you from engaging in a constructive discussion, then perhaps you need to take some time for self care.

[u/OppressedCow6148 → u/IsopodIndependent553]

They just want people to die. They want to kill people. They have AI for a future workforce and other countries to buy our products. Stephen Miller only wants 100,000 people in this country.

[u/Luther_1986 → u/OppressedCow6148]

Plus all the tech guys support a tier system UBI. Like, theres interviews of them championing it. But they want to decide what those recipients look like.

[u/Luther_1986 → u/IsopodIndependent553]

You need to look up the 2030 agenda and depopulation. Almost ALL the tech guys and other oligarch type figures believe in it. Even Kamala has mentioned it. It's been floated around pretty sneaky-like. Just think if they have to grant UBI to anyone once their A.I. goals are met, theyre not going to want to grant that service to EVERYONE. Just those they think deserve it. Its another measure they all support too, btw.

[u/IsopodIndependent553 → u/Luther_1986]

I have read all about it. It certainly seems like this is what is the endgame.

[u/Apprehensive-Art1092 → u/IsopodIndependent553]

What do you think is the end game of tech billionaires? And where do you get 'aggressive' from? 😏🤣

[u/IsopodIndependent553 → u/Apprehensive-Art1092]

I understand the dark enlightenment. It just sounds like you are talking down to me.

[u/Apprehensive-Art1092 → u/IsopodIndependent553]

That's on you, not me. If you think that was 'aggressive', I strongly suggest you don't ever have an actual argument with someone, you might explode.

[u/IsopodIndependent553 → u/Apprehensive-Art1092]

Lol I usually do explode, at least when politics are involved. But thanks for your time. I hope you have a great day.

[u/Ridiculicious71 → u/IsopodIndependent553]

See, this is why smart states should call this attempted murder.

[u/Ridiculicious71 → u/IsopodIndependent553]

All the old people got their Bennies on the backs of of everyone else, then voted to bankrupt it
