Trump Declares Childhood Vaccines Are Like Soda: Better One Sip at a Time
KEY POINTS
- •President Trump issued an executive order on September 26, 2025, to split the combined MMR vaccine into three separate shots given at different visits.
- •Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who handpicked advisers pushing this policy, saw White House pushback earlier but Trump kept pressing on vaccine momentum.
- •Experts warn this could raise costs and missed immunizations as there are currently no single vaccines for measles, mumps, and rubella approved separately.
In a move that’s as scientifically sound as charging your phone with a potato, President Trump signed an executive order on Monday demanding the separation of the MMR vaccine into three shots, served solo like a playlist full of sad vibes. This plan, championed by Health Secretary RFK Jr. and his merry band of vaccine advisers from last fall, defies the CDC's advice and Senate health chief Bill Cassidy’s stern 'I'm a doctor, this is wrong' clapback on X. Trump’s logic? Giving MMR all at once is 'quite lethal' and resembles chugging a 'bottle of soda.' Meanwhile, measles cases are already throwing a wild party in 2026, insurers are scratching their heads about covering extra visits, and pharmaceutical companies suddenly have homework: invent separate vaccines for measles, mumps, and rubella without breaking a sweat. Courts have even hit pause on this sleezy vaccine remix before. The midterms just got bubbly.
