  Speaker 1: On Monday, with RFK Junior standing right by his side,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: sol Frump said this in the Oval Office, this is.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: Something very important for all of us, and say vaccine
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: EO effective immediately. My administration is recognizing gold standard childhood
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: vaccine recommendations for only eleven core vaccinations against the most
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: serious and dangerous diseases, along with the MMR, which hopefully
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: will be split up. I've seen proof of it where
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: they have a vaccination that looks like the size of
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: a bottle of soda poured into a little child's body,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: and bad things happen in many, in too many cases,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: because this is an explosion, This is an epidemic.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: That everyone is the man who thinks he should be
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: the one telling you what to do when it comes
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: to vaccinating your kids. And again into more details in
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: case you have been filling all the details of the story.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: The executive order, according to ms NOW, recommends reducing the
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: amount of immunization's kids received to provide protection for eleven diseases,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: down from the eighteen that the Centers for Disease Control
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: and Prevention had previously recommended. It also recommends separating the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: combined measles, mumps, and rubella also known as MMR vaccine
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: into three individual shots. Responding to that, the American Academy
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: of Pediatrics issued this press release saying, quote, as measles
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: cases reach a thirty five year high in the US
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and with cold and flu season quickly approaching, Monday's executive
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: order on vaccines is not only disheartening but dangerous. There's
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: no new evidence to justify significant changes to childhood immunization.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Guidance could not have been more clearly stated. Joining us
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: now to talk through this, as doctor Van Gudah, practicing
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: hominologist and an ms NOW Senior medical Analyst, let me
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: start just by asking you, for people who are tuning
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: into this, can you just explain why this executive order
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: is so misguided?
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Sure, Jen, good evening.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: As incoherent, it's callous, and it's not rooted in actual evidence.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: You know, normally medicine starts with evidence, You then develop
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: a product and then make a recommendation. Here they've reversed
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: the sequence. They've announced the recommendation, asked manufacturers pharmaceutical companies
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: to invent the products, and then now they're.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Looking for evidence to justify it.
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: They completely reverted the sequence here and it's completely unnecessary.
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Even pharmaceutical companies are coming.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: Out saying there's no reason to do this, and two
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: pediatricians and AAP other societies are saying, Jen, this is
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: going to triple the number of shots for children for
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: this critical set of pathogens we want to protect against.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: And we know that that's going to cause friction and
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: people are going to misappointments. It's going to cause delayed
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: vaccinations and create more susceptible communities.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: So that's why this is misguided.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: My parents, my children are eight and eleven, but it
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: is something that freaks out. I think a lot of
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: parents when they see this and they hear this, and
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: they wonder what this will mean. I mean, to your point,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: a number of these individual vaccines aren't even available right now.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: So what kind of how much weight does this executive
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: order actually even have in terms of the impact on
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: people out there?
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: Well, you know, to your point, Jen, I think a
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: lot of people are going to ask. And I've seen
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: this directly. My wife's p leatrician. We talk about this
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: a lot. Is even if nothing happens, I suspect nothing
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: will actually happen. There's two years of this EO there's
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: no teeth to it. The FT eight cannot or the
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: president cannot force pharmaceutical companies to actually do this, So
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: there's likely not going to be production on a timeline
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: in which this EO exists for the next two years,
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: so luckily nothing happens. However, this is going to create confusion.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: I think a lot of families out there are saying, well,
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: is there something wrong with a combined vaccine? Those questions
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: have been asked now for the last eighteen months, they
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: will continue to get asked, and that to me is
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: the rub here.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: We're creating friction.
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: More vaccine appointments are suggesting splitting things up, asking questions.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: They're introducing more friction into a system that already has
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: a lot of friction.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Let me ask you one more very practical question. I
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: think a lot of parents spend a lot of time
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: ensuring that forms are filled out for camps, for school,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: for all kinds of activities, providing proof often of their
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: child's MMR vaccines. As we said, these separate vaccines of
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: course don't currently exist. It doesn't have teeth this, But
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: how does this kind of recommendation, How could this impact
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: this requirement and how should parents understand how this could
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: impact those type of forms that a lot of states
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and camps are requiring.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: And Jeremy, I think this is exactly the question that's
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: going to impact people at the state and local level
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: and school district level. States make requirements when it comes
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: to vaccines, especially when it comes to what might be
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: required in a school setting and a camp setting, and
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: so can some states, those that perhaps are Red states,
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: say we're going to go towards what the federal government
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: is saying and start to expect people have individual proof
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: of an MMR vaccine, so a measles Monk's rebella separately,
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: you know, we don't have access to it possibly or
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: they could make any number of exceptions here, and so
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: that's where there's going to be confusion. What are Red
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: states specifically going to do at the local and state level,
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: at the school district level to introduce confusion.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Sector Van Gupta, thank you for all of your public
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: health information. As always, I really appreciate you being with us.
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: Thank you
