On March 17 in the United States, a federal judge blocked Robert F. Jr.'s attempt to overhaul vaccine policy under President Donald Trump's administration by halting reductions recommended for children following his appointment as Health Secretary on February 20 and subsequent moves announced around late January through early April; this legal intervention stops what critics call an anti-science initiative that would have lowered vaccination rates, a decision hailed in France where the judge is described as preventing Kennedy Jr.
