Public health, explained: Sign up to receive Dr. Jay K. Varma’s reports in your inbox a day early.Hello and welcome to Healthbeat’s weekly report on stories shaping public health in the United States.I am Dr. Jay K. Varma, a physician, epidemiologist, and public health expert currently serving as chief medical officer at Fedcap, a global nonprofit focused on economic mobility and well-being for vulnerable communities. Views expressed here are my own.This week, a headline about vaccine skepticism made me gasp – that is, until I read the actual data. Then I turned my attention to another important federal health program that is at risk of being gutted the same way Centers for Disease Control and Prevention vaccine policy was. And a surprise comment from President Donald Trump has upended what had been promising bipartisan momentum on child care, a service that is critical to health.Do Americans trust that vaccines are safe and effective?I gasped this past week when I read a headline that said that “more Americans doubt vaccine safety than trust it.” With measles and pertussis resurging, this headline suggested that vaccine skeptics are winning and made me worry that even more fearsome vaccine-preventable infections, such as polio and diphtheria, might soon return as well.The headline came from a Politico poll of 3,851 U.S. adults, conducted in March by Public First. The poll found that nearly half of respondents said the facts on vaccines are “still up for debate” and that it is “damaging to enforce their uptake.” A plurality also said they support reducing the number of vaccines Americans receive. Politico reported that the findings suggest “RFK Jr.’s views are commonplace across the land.”As an epidemiologist, I knew I needed to set aside time to review the actual data in more detail. Thankfully, other experts I trust had already done that.Pediatrician and public health physician David Higgins analyzed the poll’s methodology and identified a fundamental flaw. The core question was what survey researchers call a “double-barreled” question, except, as Higgins pointed out, it actually had four barrels. Respondents were asked to choose between two statements: one saying the science is clear and it is “damaging to question it,” and another saying the facts are “up for debate” and it is “damaging to enforce” vaccine uptake. Those are four distinct and independent beliefs fused into a single complicated and odd choice. For example, a pediatrician who thinks the science is clear but believes vigorous debate is essential to good science has no good answer. Neither does a parent who trusts vaccines, has chosen to vaccinate their children, and also opposes government mandates. Because this question was so poorly worded, it was wrong for Politico to report the sweeping conclusion that half the country now shares Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s worldview.NYC launched a $1M campaign to promote vaccination. Here’s what it gets right, and where it misses.Other data from the same poll are reassuring and were downplayed. Only 10% of respondents chose the most skeptical position that vaccine risks are significant and enforcing vaccines is dangerous. And only 34% said they see reducing vaccines as a core principle of the Make America Healthy Again movement, the ideological home of anti-vaccine politics. The idea that vaccine skepticism is now the default is itself a public health threat. People who see misleading headlines may begin to wonder why they are the outlier in trusting vaccines. Public health advocates need to both loudly oppose the anti-vaccine movement and widely celebrate the fact that most Americans still believe that vaccines are safe and effective.Eager for some good news about vaccine uptake in the United States, I was also pleased to see a famous athlete endorsing vaccines this week. Basketball star Tyrese Haliburton — who led the Indiana Pacers to the cusp of the NBA championship last year before tearing his Achilles tendon in the final game — was recently diagnosed with shingles. In an interview about his experience, he had this message to the audience: “I would tell anybody over 50 years old to get the [shingles vaccine]. This has sucked.” I strongly agree with that recommendation, as I have written about previously.What is the future of the U.S. preventive services task force?A federal program tasked with guiding doctors and health insurance companies on disease prevention has effectively been shuttered, but testimony from Kennedy last week suggests that he might do to it what he did to CDC’s vaccine program.The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force is one of the most valuable, though least known, programs in American health policy. Established in 1984, it is an independent, volunteer panel of physicians and health professionals that reviews scientific evidence on preventive services and grades them on a scale from A to D. Think about mammograms, colonoscopies, depression screening, cholesterol tests, and HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis. Under the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies are required to fully cover services rated A or B at no cost to patients. Since he took over, Kennedy has cancelled all of the task force’s scheduled meetings and refused to name replacements for five of its 16 members whose terms expired in December. As a result, there have been no new recommendations on important issues, and the task force was unable to publish a legally mandated annual report to Congress. Nineteen senators sent Kennedy a letter last month demanding he stop blocking the panel’s work. Leadership disruptions at the CDC endanger American healthThen, in testimony before Congress last week, Kennedy went further. He called the task force “lackadaisical and negligent for 20 years” and said he would appoint new members with “a clear mission.” What’s Kennedy’s version of a clear mission? I worry that he wants the U.S. government to do what he did to the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices and stock it with people ideologically aligned to him. This could mean that the task force starts recommending interventions that have no basis in evidence but that Kennedy endorses, such as peptide injections and raw milk.Why does this matter so much? As public health expert Tom Farley argues, the U.S. health care system needs an independent, conflict-free body to evaluate evidence. Otherwise, the guidance that flows to physicians and patients gets distorted by financial interests. Medical specialty societies often publish their own guidelines, but many of their members have financial ties to the companies that stand to benefit from the tests and treatments being recommended.The task force’s credibility to me and other practicing physicians has always rested on the fact that its members have no such conflicts and consider the totality of evidence, including the costs of testing or treating too much.The importance of health and safety in child careTrump recently upended the national conversation about child care saying that he does not believe the federal government should be in the business of paying for it. Until recently, child care had been a rare issue in which there is genuine bipartisan consensus in Washington. Lawmakers from both parties have been advocating for more federal investment, arguing that child care is important infrastructure for adults to be able to work and to grow the U.S. economy. At an Easter lunch on April 1, Trump said, “We can’t take care of day care. We’re a big country, we have 50 states. We have all these other people, we’re fighting wars. We can’t take care of day care.” Millions of American families have no child care options available to them, and, even among those that do, the cost is exorbitant, often exceeding the cost of college tuition. Many states are looking for local resources to fund child care expansion. In my home city of New York, the new mayor ran on a promise of universal child care for children from 2 to 4 years old. If states do find their own resources to expand the number of child care seats, I am hoping that they also allocate sufficient funding for health and safety. In a report I recently authored, I argue that expanding the number of child care seats without ensuring health could make the system even more fragile with facilities closed because of outbreaks or staff shortages. States need to budget for protecting children’s health, supporting child care workers’ health, and designing and maintaining facilities safely. These are important issues that parents can also try to assess when deciding where to enroll their children.Until next week,JayDr. Jay K.
