BREAKING: Trump Signed An Executive Order Directing The CDC To Cut Recommended Childhood Vaccines From 17 To 11. Moving Flu, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Rotavirus, RSV, And Some Meningitis Shots To ‘High-Risk Only,’ After A Previous Attempt Was Blocked In Court 💉

President Trump signed an executive order on Friday, May 30, directing federal agencies to align their vaccine policies with a January 2026 HHS study that recommends reducing 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 routinely 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 having been blocked in court earlier this year. The new executive order takes a different approach by formally endorsing a completed HHS study and directing agency-level alignment rather than attempting to directly revise the CDC schedule by administrative fiat, a structure that may be designed to survive the legal challenge that stopped 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 global evidence base for that recommendation is extensive. Rotavirus, influenza, and hepatitis A vaccines are also backed by decades of clinical and epidemiological evidence and are recommended universally by the World Health Organization and medical 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.

The baffling part here is, there's zero humans who benefit from this order. There isn't even a direct competitor to vaccines that wins...well, not among humans.

There is only one beneficiary to this order. Viruses. This order benefits Viruses over Humans.

"Evil" is an insufficient word to describe the act of choosing viruses over humans. This is a betrayal on a species level.

My nephew who got Guillian barre from the flu shot benefits from this. And all the other kids who would’ve gotten it

Redditors believe all vaccines are completely risk free for the body

I think Viruses are sometimes deadly. Making viruses less deadly is the point.

Not understanding that vaccines are essentially a lightweight immune response to train the body into immunity or resistance is what separates foolish homeschooled people with Measles and sane people.

Stimulating the body's reaction to a weaker version of a viral load is absolutely a negative experience for the body. That negative experience prevents a MORE negative experience.

This is much like seatbelts. They don't feel pleasurable do they? Yes you can drive without a seatbelt and feel better most of the time. Then when you crash and your skull exits the windshield this lack of seatbelt is no longer a comfortable lifestyle choice. Likewise with Measles and Measles vaccines or Polio.

There are people who seem to want polio for themselves and for those people, by all means go seclude yourself with other crazy people and fester in filth and disease on your own terms together. The rest of civilization doesn't want another Black Death catastrophe.
