> I think it’s more about allowing people the freedom to make their own medical decisions.

I'm not familiar with how things work in the USA, but this statement from the article seems to say the reverse:

> When Kennedy signs this, the MMRV will not be covered by many insurers and it will be unavailable to most people in practice.

I'm guessing that means currently most people are free to make their own choice on whether to get the vaccine independent of any financial considerations. If is speculations are on target they will have to pay for the vaccine, so the decision has more constraints - and so is correspondingly less free.

About 9 out of 10 unvaccinated children will get Measles, of those about 1 in 1,000 will suffer sever complications like brain damage or death. I guess if you are poor, your pretty likely to means you accept the 0.1% risk.
