Trump to sign executive order barring federal funding for schools with Covid vaccine mandates

Donald Trump will soon sign an executive order cutting off federal funding for schools and universities that require students receive a Covid-19 vaccine to attend class in person, a White House official said. The president is scheduled to sign executive orders right about now, without press in attendance, though that could change. The order satisfies a campaign promise from Trump, and will also direct Robert F Kennedy Jr, the newly sworn in secretary of health and human services, to “provide a plan to end coercive Covid-19 vaccine mandates”, according to Breitbart News, which first reported on the order. Shortly after taking office, Trump ordered officials to reinstate a small number of military personnel who had been fired for refusing to take the vaccine.
