Earlier this year, Trump signed an executive order to reduce the number of vaccines administered to American children, as he declared on Truth Social, “We are moving to a far more reasonable Schedule, where all children will only be recommended to receive Vaccinations for 11 of the most serious and dangerous diseases.”
“Parents can still choose to give their children all of the Vaccinations, if they wish, and they will still be covered by insurance,” the politician noted. “However, this updated Schedule finally aligns the United States with other Developed Nations around the World.”
During a previous appearance on Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson, Trump falsely claimed kids were receiving “88 vaccines” and added, “I look at these beautiful little babies, and they get a vat, like a big glass of stuff pumped into their bodies.”
However, his comments received pushback, especially from CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale, who noted, “So much vaccine misinformation from the president. Kids don’t get anywhere close to ’88’ or ’82’ vaccines.”
