Trump wants Big Pharma to split MMR vaccine; Big Pharma thinks it's idiotic

President Trump's recent directive regarding the MMR vaccine has sparked outrage among medical and public health professionals. The American Academy of Pediatrics, among other organizations, has vehemently condemned the move, deeming it "dangerous and unscientific" and potentially harmful to children's health.
