    Trump’s order serves as guidance, not a mandate, since shots required for school attendance are set at the state level, rather than by the federal government.

    Like a lot of his crap, this is purely performative and will only impact States dumb enough to follow his suggestion That sucks for the millions of children who won’t be vaccinated, but it also means it won’t effect most children. Federalism can be a huge PITA when trying to pass good and useful legislation, but it’s also a pretty good bulwark for when stupid gets a turn at the wheel.
