News Wrap: Trump signs order calling for MMR vaccine split into 3 shots

President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday calling for fewer childhood vaccines and spacing them out over separate doctor visits. His administration also directed the Department of Health and Human Services to reassess the timing and sequencing of these vaccinations. However, experts argue that the data does not support the president's claim linking vaccines to autism, as decades of research, including large-scale studies involving hundreds of thousands of children, have found no causal connection.

Attorney General Todd Blanche was sworn in after narrowly being confirmed by the Senate, with two Republican senators joining all Democrats in voting against his confirmation due to concerns about the Justice Department's independence. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Dolphin made landfall in eastern China, causing heavy rains and severe flooding that led to the evacuation of over 300,000 people and the cancellation of more than 1,300 flights.

In the Philippines, rescue operations are underway following the storm's intensification of seasonal monsoon rains, resulting in landslides and at least five deaths, with five others still missing.
