President Joe Biden
When discussing the importance of vaccine policy President Biden has done multiple things to protect his stance on vaccination. He implemented the vaccine mandates and OSHA action plan in September of 2021 with the COVID-19 vaccine or testing weekly for companies who had more than 100+ employees. Biden also added CDC's advisory committee members who supported the vaccine guidelines in children and the COVID-19 vaccine. This helped to protect policymaking against partisan influence (Stat News 2025).
President Donald Trump
When discussing vaccinations President Trump falls on the other side of vaccine policy and stance. In 2025, he signed an executive order that prohibited funds being distributed to higher education institutions that required the COVID-19 vaccine for students(Associated Press 2025). They also cut funding to vaccine research and distribution by $500 million. Trump also decided to withdraw the US from the World Health Organization in January of 2025 (The White House 2025).
What I would do
The changes I would make when talking about vaccination would be different from both of these presidents. I would not make it mandatory to get vaccinated with the COVID vaccine, but I also would not cut funding or access to the essential vaccines. I definitely would not take my country out of the World health organization but instead partner with the countries that are in with new technologies and vaccines that show scientific evidence to help stop another pandemic from happening.
