New Trump Order Pulls Funding From Schools With COVID-19 Vaccine Mandates
HuffPost
The vast majority of schools do not require COVID-19 vaccinations.
President Donald Trump signed an executive order Friday aimed at pulling federal funding from schools and universities that require vaccinations against COVID-19.
The vast majority of districts and institutions have either ended any coronavirus vaccination requirements or never chose to implement such a rule in the first place, as COVID-19 cases dropped and immunization rates rose among the general population. Currently, no public K-12 schools in the U.S. have a COVID-19 vaccination mandate.
Trump’s executive order represents a pledge that he made on the campaign trail — although at times it was unclear whether he would only target schools that required COVID-19 vaccines, or schools that had any type of vaccine requirements. Common requirements include vaccinations against polio and measles, mumps and rubella.
Newly minted Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has expressed doubt about the efficacy of vaccinations and even helped spread false conspiracy theories that the jabs could cause harm.
Trump has given every indication that he is willing to capitulate to Kennedy’s theories.
