Thinking through his presidential examples. Guys my age might remember the ‘President’s Physical Fitness Test’. I looked it up, it’s from the Nixon administration. And it was inspired by an Eisenhower initiative.

Trump administration to ban Covid vaccines?
-
The FDA approved an updated Pfizer-BioNTech COVID vaccine for adults 65 and older.
Younger people, between 5 and 64, are eligible if they have at least one underlying health condition putting them at high risk for severe outcomes from the virus.
"FDA has now issued marketing authorization for those at higher risk: Moderna (6+ months), Pfizer (5+), and Novavax (12+)," Kennedy said. -
Sod off Mr. Kennedy…..
Aug 11 (Reuters) - An influential U.S. medical journal is rejecting a call from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to retract a large Danish study that found that aluminum ingredients in vaccines do not increase health risks for children, the journal's editor told Reuters.

Anti-Vax Cartoon from 1892.
Curious, I looked up which vaccine was available in 1892. The only widespread vaccine at that time was for smallpox, first developed by Edward Jenner in 1796 using cowpox virus as protection against the deadlier disease.
Before vaccination, smallpox was one of humanity’s most feared and devastating diseases. It had a mortality rate of about 30% on average (though some outbreaks were far worse), and those who survived were often left with severe scarring or blindness.
Historians and epidemiologists can’t calculate an exact total, but estimates show that hundreds of millions, likely well over half a billion people, perished from smallpox across recorded history.
