    The president can’t ban vaccines in the US. Congress can pass legislation banning it and then the president can sign it, but the power lies with Congress here. I know we’re moving towards a more powerful Executive Branch, which is bullshit and a path to having a ruler instead of an elected official. Even the language used here is deceptive and designed to speak in terms of a monarchy and any real patriot would fight it tooth and nail.

    No gods. No kings. We won’t be ruled again!

      He could easily direct the FDA to rescind all vaccine approvals. He might have to fire a couple surgeons general (which, while it is my favorite euphemism, is not one in this instance) but he’d get there.

      Would it hold up long term? No. But it would cause enough chaos and confusion in the short term.
