Bare Arms is a two fold initiative: Decrease childhood death by gun violence (it is the number one killer of kids and teens) and increase childhood vaccination rates back to pre-Covid levels so more kids don’t die, or become seriously injured from, preventable illnesses.
Yesterday, fold two suffered a direct hit when an executive order was signed by a businessman, against the advice of the American Academy of Pediatrics and decades of peer reviewed (actual gold-standard) science. To further this assault on children, the EO gives the Attorney General authority to challenge states who do not comply with the revised vaccine schedule.
Bare Arms strives to put policy over politics, but when a related event is politically driven and founded on debunked myths about a pretend relationship between the MMR and Autism, I need to call a spade a spade, and this move was to placate a base who is losing interest in a leader because of war and economics.
And the new EO does not need to be followed.
Hear me, please, parents. Patients and parents can still ask for the tried and true vaccine schedule, or a modification that suits their needs. The stripped down version only limits required vaccines, it does not take them off the market.
Parental freedom is one of the purported reasons for this proposed change. So parents, for the sake of your child and community, please, exercise your freedom and choose the old vaccine schedule.
