History

Historical Context

In 2004, the U.S. experienced a public health crisis as vaccine misinformation led to a 20% drop in childhood vaccinations, according to the CDC. This decline echoed earlier concerns about public trust in health policies. Today, Donald Trump's endorsement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. revives fears of similar impacts on vaccination efforts, potentially undermining public confidence in leadership amid ongoing health debates.
