As Trump weighs appeal of vaccine ruling, Kennedy supporters push for fight - Reuters

President Trump is considering whether to appeal a court ruling on vaccines while supporters of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., his nominee for Health and Human Services, are urging him to pursue the legal challenge. Kennedy has long promoted skepticism about vaccine safety and efficacy, positioning himself as an opponent of federal vaccine mandates and pharmaceutical industry influence. The decision reflects tensions within the Trump administration between those advocating aggressive action against vaccine policy and legal and political constraints on such moves. An appeal would likely draw scrutiny from public health officials and potentially complicate Senate confirmation proceedings for Kennedy's HHS nomination. The ruling in question and the administration's next steps will test how far Trump intends to go on vaccine-related policy during his second term.
