Kennedy Jr., the nation\u2019s health secretary, have launched a new effort to repeal laws that for decades have required children to be vaccinated against measles, polio and other diseases before they enter day care or kindergarten.A newly formed coalition of vaccine activists is targeting laws that are considered the linchpin of protection from deadly diseases. States have long mandated childhood immunizations before children can start day care or school, though some exemptions are available.\u201cWhat we need to do is freaking burst the dam open,\u201d Leslie Manookian, the backer of a law that banned medical mandates in Idaho, told supporters on a recent call. \u201cAnd that is what this year is all about, bursting the dam open in the states where we think it can happen first.\u201dMs. Manookian is a leader of the Medical Freedom Act Coalition, a new umbrella group of at least 15 nonprofit organizations advocating an end to state laws that codify what they call medical mandates, which largely pertain to vaccines.So far, bills have been introduced in at least nine states that would eliminate all or nearly all school requirements, including Democratic states like New York where there is no chance of passage, to states such as New Hampshire, Georgia, Iowa and Idaho where the proposals have gained some traction.Many vaccine proponents view the state-level push as a second stage in the dismantling of the nation\u2019s vaccine infrastructure, building on Mr. Kennedy\u2019s significant reduction of federally recommended vaccines.While not entirely new, the strategy demonstrates a sophisticated grasp of how to try to unravel more than 100 years of progress in protecting children from deadly pathogens, said Sara Rosenbaum, a health law professor emerita at George Washington University and former Clinton administration health official.\u201cThey\u2019re drunk on their apparent power, because they have one of their own sitting in the secretarial office of H.H.S.,\u201d Ms. Rosenbaum said, referring to Mr. Kennedy\u2019s position at the Department of Health and Human Services. \u201cThey think this is the time for them to go for broke and just simply make the default no requirements at all.\u201dImageRobert F. Kennedy, Jr., the health secretary, spoke to the press at the White House last month.Credit...Eric Lee for The New York TimesGroups in the new coalition include Children\u2019s Health Defense, the nonprofit that Mr. Kennedy co-founded, and two others created to support his MAHA, or Make America Healthy Again, initiative. One of them, the MAHA Institute, works on state policy and said it is hiring people to support the agenda.Mr. Kennedy\u2019s retreat from longstanding federal vaccine advice has prompted a flurry of activity at the state level. As his policies take hold, some Democratic leaning states have created their own alliances to reject the new federal vaccine guidance, while some Republican-led states have moved to enshrine it.At a Heritage Foundation event featuring Mr. Kennedy this month, Kim Mack Rosenberg, general counsel for Children\u2019s Health Defense, said a high priority would be undoing state requirements.\u201cUltimately, the goal is to remove mandates,\u201d Ms. Mack Rosenberg said.\u201cParticularly when you tie those mandates to school attendance, that creates an incredibly difficult situation for families,\u201d she added.Asked at an event in Tennessee earlier this month about the push to repeal school-entry requirements, Mr. Kennedy said he was not involved in the effort. But he added, \u201cI believe in freedom of choice,\u201d drawing applause from the audience. He said he supported allowing people to make vaccine decisions with their families and physicians.Ms. Manookian said the coalition\u2019s effort is meant to end what she considered coercion related to all medical interventions. \u201cIt\u2019s about putting the power back in the hands of the individual,\u201d she said in an interview.ImageKim Mack Rosenberg, general counsel of Children\u2019s Health Defense, speaking at a Heritage Foundation event in Washington this month.Credit...Heather Diehl\/Getty ImagesImageA syringe containing a flu vaccine in a pediatrician\u2019s office in Florida last September.Credit...Joe Raedle\/Getty ImagesProposals to eliminate school-entry vaccine requirements have met mixed fates, with some efforts stalling, in Oklahoma and Indiana, and others pending, including in West Virginia. A bill in Arizona is also pending but is expected to face a veto from the governor, a Democrat, and one in New York is unlikely to clear the Democratic-controlled state legislature. Backers of the coalition say they expect a bill to be introduced in Louisiana next month.In Florida, despite state officials\u2019 declared intent to end childhood vaccine mandates, no bill has been introduced that would eliminate school-entry rules. One proposal, though, would allow a \u201cconscience\u201d or personal-belief exemption that would make it easier for parents to opt out of immunizations.The moves to overturn state laws have alarmed pediatricians and other vaccine supporters, who maintain that there is widespread acceptance among parents and the public of immunizing young children.Eliminating school requirements is viewed by public health experts as a sure way to reduce vaccine coverage, resulting in a surge of measles and whooping cough cases, followed later by potential outbreaks of rubella and polio. The consequences are on display in South Carolina, where a measles outbreak has affected more than 900 people, including at least 19 who were hospitalized with complications including pneumonia and brain swelling.At several schools in the center of the outbreak, fewer than 80 percent of students had received all of the required childhood immunizations, well short of the 95 percent needed to stem the spread of measles, a highly contagious virus.ImageA sign at a mobile measles vaccine clinic in Spartanburg, S.C., this month.

A number of polls show that voters would penalize lawmakers who favor eliminating school requirements. In one recent poll, conducted by The Wall Street Journal, voters gave Democrats a 9 percent advantage over Republicans when asked which party is best suited to handle vaccine policy.Two polls commissioned by vaccine backers and conducted by Republican-leaning firms found that voters in Florida and Tennessee would not support lawmakers who want to end school-vaccine mandates. One poll by Fabrizio Ward, a firm that President Trump relies on, found that swing voters in tight congressional races would strip about 20 percentage points from a Republican candidate who was critical of vaccines.\u201cVaccine skepticism is bad politics,\u201d the Fabrizio Ward memo said.Vaccine backers are still concerned about proposals in New Hampshire, Iowa, Idaho, Georgia and potentially other states that could end or sharply limit vaccine requirements for school entry.\u201cPrior to vaccines, one in five kids didn\u2019t make it to their fifth birthday,\" said Jennifer Herricks, advocacy director for American Families for Vaccines, a nonprofit that receives some of its funding from vaccine makers. \u201cHaving these policies in place has really served to protect kids at the time when they are the most vulnerable to these diseases.\u201dIn New Hampshire, vaccine skeptics dominated a lengthy hearing on a bill that would eliminate required vaccines for school, but was amended to keep the polio vaccine. Health department officials said the proposal would put the state out of compliance with federal grant requirements and cost it several million dollars used to immunize low-income children each year.If the bill passed, there could be \u201cwidespread uncontrolled illness,\u201d said Megan Petty, chief of the New Hampshire Bureau of Infectious Disease Control.

Some Idaho school districts have continued to stand firm on vaccine requirements despite the existing law\u2019s general prohibition against medical mandates, she said.\u201cThe more that the schools and the day cares actually play parent and intrude,\u201d she said, \u201cthe more they\u2019re actually harming themselves.\u201dChris Anders, a Republican lawmaker in West Virginia, introduced a bill this month that would eliminate school vaccination mandates, including the requirement that county health departments offer free shots to low-income children. He said other lawmakers were unlikely to advance the measure.\u201cIf people decide not to be vaccinated, that is their choice,\u201d he said. \u201cJust like if they decide not to wear a seatbelt or a motorcycle helmet or anything else. If they decide that, they suffer the consequences.\u201dImageJamie Schanbaum, whose fingers and lower legs were amputated after she became severely ill from meningitis, advocated for Florida to keep its vaccine mandates in place. Credit...Sara Hylton for The New York TimesLast year in Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott quietly signed a bill that opened the door to lawsuits against vaccine makers that advertise in the state.A 1986 federal law created a special court, the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program, that handles vaccine-injury claims. Mr. Kennedy, who worked on a large lawsuit against one vaccine maker, has long been a critic of the special court, saying vaccine lawsuits should be easier to pursue.In Florida, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, the surgeon general, announced last fall that the state would end vaccine requirements. With no proposal in the legislature to make that happen, a pared-down effort to change state rules is moving forward.Florida officials are seeking to repeal the requirement that children be vaccinated against varicella, or chickenpox; hepatitis B, pneumococcal bacteria and Haemophilus influenzae type B, or Hib, a condition that can be deadly.The state held a contentious hearing in December on the plan. Among those testifying was Jamie Schanbaum, whose fingers and lower legs were amputated after she became severely ill from meningitis, which is prevented by the pneumococcal vaccine. She has advocated the vaccine extensively and in December asked Florida leaders to keep their vaccination requirements in place.\u201cIt\u2019s very frustrating,\u201d she said in an interview, \u201cto see and experience the reality of today and that our most prominent, most respected medical guidances are being not taken seriously.\u201dEmily Cochrane and Teddy Rosenbluth contributed reporting.Christina Jewett covers the Food and Drug Administration, which means keeping a close eye on drugs, medical devices, food safety and tobacco policy.See more on: U.S. Politics, Health and Human Services Department, Heritage Foundation, Robert F.
