WHO warns on US child vaccine cuts
The World Health Organization has warned that President Donald Trump’s efforts to restructure childhood vaccination policies in the United States conflict with scientific evidence confirming the safety and effectiveness of vaccines such as the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine. WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus stated that vaccines are safe and do not cause autism, and that recent changes to U.S. vaccination policies could lead to unnecessary delays or separations of doses, thereby threatening children’s protection from infectious diseases. This comes at a time when the United States is experiencing its worst measles outbreak in 35 years, with the risk of infection increasing as students prepare to return to school amid political debate over reviewing the vaccination schedule and its potential impacts.
