트럼프: 백신 의무 권고 72개에서 11개로 축소, 자폐증 논란 홍역 백신 분리

[하토브.]

트럼프가 지난 8월 10일 행정명령을 내렸는데 과거 72가지의 백신 접종을 의무화하거나

권고했던 바에서 그것을 11개로 축소하였다고 합니다.

제가 그 구체적인 평가에 관해서는 충분히 알지 못하므로 자세한 설명을 못드리는데

권고사항이라는 것은 실제로 학교에서 전학가거나 한국에서 이민와서 미국 캐나다 학교에

입학할 때에 예방접종 증명서가 중요한데, 그것이 없으면 입학이 안되거나 공공 진료소에 가서

예방접종 부터 해야 합니다.

그런데 예방접종약들과 자폐증과의 연관성 의문은 그동안 꾸준히 제기되어 왔습니다.

그런데 이번 행정명령에서 주목할 것은 MMR의 분리입니다. 이것은 이하선염(볼거리)과 홍역과 풍진 면역접종을 한꺼번에

투약하던데서 그것을 셋으로 분리하여 따로 따로 받게하는 것이 허용되도록 한 것입니다. 또 백신 거부도 용이하게 한 것으로

보입니다.

3가지를 한꺼번에 투약함으로 인하여 어린 아이의 몸이 견디지 못하고, 자폐증을 유발하였을 가능성이 높다는 것입니다.

멀쩡하던 아이가 그 백신 접종후 몇달이 안되어 자폐 증상을 일으키었다는 주장들이 끊임없이 쏟아져 나왔습니다.

그러므로,  3가지중 어떤 것은 아예 거부할수도 있도록 하거나, 3가지 모두를 접종하더라도 몇달씩 간격을 띄워서 받는 것이
가능하도록 하였다는 것입니다. 그러나 현실적으로 제약회사들중에서 3가지를 각각 접종받도록 백신을 구분 분리하여

공급하는 회사가 없다는 것입니다. 제약회사들이 그것을 구분하여 내놓아야 하는데, 트럼프에 비아냥하는 회사들이 얼마나

빠르게 분리된 백신을 공급할지는 의문입니다.

이번 백신 개혁은 로버트 케네디 쥬니어의 주장을 실현한 것인데, 이 사람은 백신과 자폐증의 연관성, 백신이 자폐증을 유발한다는 

주장을 해온 사람으로서 민주당에서 공화당으로 이적하였습니다.

Trump order reduces US vaccine schedule, seeks to split MMR shot

• Summary

• Trump limits childhood immunizations to 11 vaccines
• Cites link between vaccines and autism that has been debunked
• Physicians reject move, say it will heighten disease risk

WASHINGTON, Aug 10 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday calling for fewer childhood ​vaccinations by limiting the inoculation schedule to 11 immunizations, which he said would give U.S. children "gold-standard" protection and align the country with peer nations that recommend fewer shots.

The ‌order advances a long-standing goal of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an anti-vaccine activist who has promoted a link between vaccines and autism that scientists have repeatedly debunked.

"Effective immediately, my administration is recognizing gold-standard childhood vaccine recommendations for only 11 core vaccinations against the most serious and dangerous diseases, along with the MMR, which hopefully will be split up," Trump said during a White House signing ceremony where he repeatedly cited a growing number of U.S. autism diagnoses.

"There are ​some groups that have virtually no problem with autism," Trump said. "They're groups that aren't big into the world of vaccines, so there is something wrong."

Physicians roundly rejected the action, saying no ​new science warranted a change, and that the U.S. schedule reflects decades of evidence and the specific health needs of Americans, rejecting the comparison to other ⁠countries. Fewer recommended shots will leave more children exposed to preventable diseases, they said.

The order also recommends splitting the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine into three shots taken at separate visits.

Kennedy in January ​cut the U.S. immunization schedule to remove shots against six out of 17 diseases, a move halted by a federal court ruling. The executive order says it reaffirms Kennedy's overhaul despite the ongoing litigation.

Existing coverage under ​the Vaccines for Children program relied on by many families will continue, a senior administration official said. The government-funded program provides vaccines for those who may not be able to afford them.

The order directs the Justice Department to challenge state vaccination laws, escalating a federal fight over school immunization requirements set by states. It instructs the attorney general to sue over state laws the administration says conflict with parental authority, religious freedom, disability accommodations and equal protection, including rules ​on religious and medical exemptions from immunization mandates.

HEALTH EXPERTS REJECT CHANGES

Medical associations, public health experts, and vaccine makers also criticized the order.

The main outcome would be "confusion for parents," said Dr. Aaron Milstone of the ​American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Infectious Diseases. Conflicting messages, he added, would likely lead parents to delay vaccination.

Merck said there is no published scientific evidence showing any benefit to splitting the MMR shot into three, and that ‌using the individual ⁠components increases injections and can lead to delayed or missed immunizations.

Dr. Elizabeth Mack, a pediatric critical care physician in Charleston, South Carolina, said no licensed single-antigen measles, mumps or rubella vaccines were available in the United States, making the recommendation unfeasible as written.

"We don't have a system that supports this," she said, questioning whether extra visits would be required and if they would be reimbursed by insurers.

Mike Ybarra, chief medical officer of pharmaceutical lobby group PhRMA, said the schedule was built on decades of rigorous research and any changes "should be driven by the same high standard of evidence."

The order was also criticized by Republican Senator ​Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, a physician who chairs ​the Senate health committee and shepherded Trump's health ⁠agency nominees through, casting the decisive vote to confirm‎ Kennedy.

"I'm a doctor. This executive order is wrong. The president does not have the expertise to make these changes," Cassidy, who lost his Republican primary to a Trump-endorsed challenger and will leave office in January, said in a statement.

ADMINISTRATION CLAIMS CHALLENGED

Trump, Kennedy and ​other officials said the order means U.S. children would receive far fewer than the 72 injections recommended under the previous schedule.

Vaccine experts say that ​figure is inflated, because it ⁠counts combination shots such as MMR as multiple injections, and assumes annual flu and COVID-19 doses. Other developed countries that may recommend fewer shots face different disease risks and have different healthcare systems.

Kennedy said health agencies had numerous efforts underway including a new initiative focused on the "foundational causes and biology of autism."

AAP President Dr. Andrew Racine called the administration's plans to again look for a link between vaccines and autism misguided, adding that ⁠40 well-designed studies ​had already examined the question over a long period of time and found no link.

"The issue is not that the ​science isn't done. The science is done," said Dr. Alycia Halladay, chief science officer at the Autism Science Foundation. "The issue is that some people choose not to believe what the studies clearly show because the results don't conform to their beliefs."
