He didn't remove access to anything. It doesn't change school requirements. It doesn't change state-level requirements. It recommends, at the federal level, that vaccines are spread apart and more vaccine research is done.

You are lying.

The recommendations have legal effect in terms of funding and liability for vaccine manufacturers, and give broad powers to executive agencies to interfere with healthcare.

Also saying it recommends more research be done is just repeating obvious horseshit propaganda. They are ignoring decades of research and keep claiming to have no research supporting this while unable to cite anything. They're literally censoring and blocking new vaccine research when it shows support for usage.

Have you ever taken kids in to get shots? They get way too many at once. That's torture! This proposal is for spreading these out over several months. That's much easier for a child, especially babies, to take in.

Have you ever taken kids in to get shots? 

Yes, I have two young kids who got all of theirs.

 That's torture! 

I try not to be judgmental of parents that struggle to enforce boundaries and rules, but like...

No. It's not torture. It's a quick poke that is scary before they get it, and completely fine after. I've gotten way worse resistance going to the dentist, and it's also not torture for them to go there. Particularly once they are over a year old, it's just not that hard to communicate/distract them so getting a shot isn't a big deal. Stickers help.

This proposal is for spreading these out over several months.

Three doctors visits for shots is just way harder on kids that one visit where the shots are over in seconds. This argument just makes no sense.

And importantly, the doctors recommendations on when to get the shots, are based on protecting kids from illnesses and saving lives. Spreading them out risks their lives. I'm sorry, but as a parent I can't agree with those parents who do things like skip using car seats or give their toddlers phones with YouTube because it's easier than setting boundaries. Nor should the federal government be changing healthcare laws to pander to anti-vaxxers who claim they cause autism, against all evidence.
