Summary

Trump signed an executive order halting federal funding for schools that require Covid vaccines.

His administration has already ended federal vaccine mandates, reinstated discharged service members, and opposed school mask and vaccine rules.

The move aligns with his campaign promises and has sparked concerns about broader immunization policies, though a spokesperson clarified it applies only to Covid vaccines.

For real, can a trump supporter give some insight here? What's the end game here? Why is this a goal? How is letting old diseases once again spread and kill one of the goals?

From the article

Currently, Covid vaccines are no longer required in K-12 schools across the country, according to two nonprofit health policy research organizations, Immunize.org and the National Academy for State Health Policy.

The end game is to give his base nothing so they can celebrate a win.

Not a trump supporter but it makes sense simply from a basis informed consent.

Natural selection is also good for our species. Let the dumb die and we are all better for it.

They were all too happy to kill their mams and pops, because masks were tyranny or some bull shit.

this affects everyone, not just the morons.

Pqyhogens and infections don't just effect the unvaccinated person.

Allowing people to contract it is what allows for it to mutate get stronger and spread.

Ever played plauge inc?

It doesn't. And no this isn't natural selection if it only affected them, it would be one thing. Viruses and diseases don't work that way.
