Once again, the tension between executive ambition and institutional knowledge plays out in the arena of children's health. President Trump signed an executive order Monday directing a reduction in childhood vaccinations, continuing a campaign that has already met repeated resistance from federal courts. The move draws its energy from a broader skepticism toward scientific consensus that has defined this administration's relationship with public health agencies. At stake is not merely a policy dispute, but the community immunity that has kept preventable diseases at bay for generations.
