Trump is changing public health guidance. What's it mean for you?

Consider This from NPR

The federal government’s approach to public health has changed more in the last eight months than it has in decades.

Since President Trump returned to office, he and members of his administration have challenged the safety of the covid vaccine, the overall childhood vaccine schedule, and the causes of autism.

This has upended public health guidance that doctors and patients have relied on for years.

Jen Brull, the President of the American Academy of Family Physicians talks about how doctors and patients are navigating this moment.
