Trump’s vaccine order is counterproductive and ‘wrong on so many levels,’ GOP lawmaker says
Cassidy said the change would turn two MMR shots into six visits and raise insurance premiums, while offering no scientific benefit.
- Republican Sen Bill Cassidy criticized President Trump's executive order requiring the MMR vaccine be administered as three separate shots, calling the policy "wrong on so many levels" during a CNN interview on Sunday.
- Cassidy, who chairs the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions, warned the mandate forces parents to attend six medical visits instead of two, increasing costs and reducing convenience for American families.
- The conflict follows a breakdown between Cassidy and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy, who pushed to overhaul vaccine policies despite securing a commitment to an "unprecedentedly close collaborative working relationship."
- President Trump defended the change in the Oval Office, stating "Nothing bad can happen," while Cassidy countered the policy creates medical risks by decreasing protection against deadly diseases.
- Kennedy's allies previously backed a primary challenge that denied Cassidy renomination earlier this spring, underscoring the deep intra-party divide fueling the current clash over the president's vaccine executive order.
