Assault on Scientific Integrity Is “Fundamentally Problematic.”
Summary: A federal judge just stopped a plan by President Trump and RFK Jr. to change the rules for childhood vaccines. The judge said the new group in charge didn't know enough about vaccines and shared false information. Doctors are very happy about this decision. Right now, the U.S. is facing a scary spread of measles. In 2025, over 2,000 people got sick, and many had to go to the hospital. Almost all the sick people were not vaccinated. Measles was almost completely gone by the year 2000, but fake news made vaccination rates drop. Now, 27 states are choosing to ignore the new government rules and follow the advice of child doctors instead.
