The groups that most Americans treat as neutral medical authorities on what to put in their kids’ bloodstreams — the AMA and the AAP — both draw millions in revenue from the companies that manufacture the vaccines they are promoting.
Shortly after President Donald Trump signed an executive order reducing the number of vaccines required for young children, the American Medical Association (AMA) issued a press release claiming Trump’s order puts children’s health at risk.
“Vaccines are among the most thoroughly studied, effective tools we have to protect children from serious vaccine-preventable diseases,” AMA President Willie Underwood, III, said in the statement. “Decisions about how and when vaccines are used should be driven by rigorous scientific evidence, patient safety, and independent medical and public health expertise. Altering a proven vaccination schedule without credible evidence risks weakening public confidence and putting children’s health at risk.”
“It’s important to know, the American Academy of Pediatrics childhood immunization schedule continues to recommend immunizations based on specific disease risks and healthcare delivery in the U.S. Extensive evidence from decades of scientific studies shows no link between vaccines and autism. If you have questions about vaccines, talk to your child’s physician. Putting our children’s health at risk is not an option,” he added.
The president’s executive order brought the number of childhood vaccines down to 11 core vaccinations against the most serious diseases, eliminating the recommendations for COVID-19 and flu vaccines.
