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.
