President Trump and Health Secretary Kennedy Jr.'s Health Industry Deals Face Enforcement Challenges and Potential Reversal
President Trump and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s health industry deals, particularly those related to vaccine policy, have not been fully enforced and are at risk of vanishing. On August 10, 2026, President Trump signed an executive order calling for more research and flexibility on vaccines, and reiterated calls for the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine to be separated into three individual shots. Curbing vaccines has been a key priority for Secretary Kennedy Jr., who founded an anti-vaccine nonprofit and has long promoted a disproven link between immunization and autism. This executive order is part of a broader trend where President Trump has signed over 250 executive orders during his second term, and reversed dozens from previous administrations, leading to a continuous cycle of policy changes.
