Overview

  • State surgeon general Joseph Ladapo announced the plan, calling existing rules “wrong” and “dripping with contempt and slavery.”
  • Governor Ron DeSantis publicly backed the rollback during the announcement.
  • California, Oregon and Washington formed a West Coast Health Alliance to issue joint recommendations aligned with medical societies.
  • CDC data released in July show falling kindergarten vaccination coverage and measles at its highest U.S. case count since 2000.
  • Public-health experts and several former CDC directors warn the move could fuel outbreaks and cite broader shifts under HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., including the ouster of ACIP members and the firing of CDC director Susan Monarez.
