On Monday, Donald Trump signed a decree that contains new recommendations regarding children's vaccination. The text specifically suggests separating the vaccines for measles, mumps, and rubella, rather than administering them together in a single injection.

During the presentation of the decree, Trump mentioned injections "the size of a soda bottle," while accompanied by his Secretary of Health, known for his critical stance on vaccines.

This initiative is part of a broader offensive against vaccination, where connections are sometimes made between vaccination and disorders such as autism, a topic that was mentioned during the event. According to several sources, this approach highlights a growing trend within certain political circles in the United States.
