Pallone: Trump's "Gold Standard" Vaccine Executive Order Puts Politics Ahead of Science and Endangers Children’s Health

Energy and Commerce Committee Ranking Member Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ) released the following statement on President Trump’s executive order establishing so-called "Gold Standard Childhood Vaccine Recommendations:"

"This executive order lets political appointees attempt to overrule decades of peer-reviewed science and dictate vaccine schedules to American families. Let’s put this in context: the same Administration that gutted the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and stacked it with vaccine skeptics is now cutting out the expertise of independent scientists altogether. Parents deserve accurate, trusted medical guidance, not a White House-curated list designed to rubberstamp Secretary Kennedy’s radical anti-vaccine agenda. I urge the Administration to reverse course before this executive order doubles down on the damage done to public trust and the health of our nation's children."
