President Trump's New Executive Order on Child Vaccine Mandates

[0:00] Right now at 7, President Trump wants to switch up the timeline for when children should get [0:06] their shots. And today he signed an executive order recommending the changes. At one year, [0:12] you should have five separate visits for vaccines rather than getting them all in the same day. [0:19] But why one local doctor, along with others in the medical community, say this is a step backward. [0:25] Days after a cyber attack, part of Sassoon City still paralyzed. The damage done and how long [0:31] it could take to repair. And new video tonight of a fire burning near Big Sur that shut down [0:37] a stretch of Highway 1. The big challenge firefighters are facing as they try to control [0:42] the flames. This is CBS News Bay Area with Juliette Goodrich. Thanks for joining us at 7. Just as [0:52] children are heading back to school for the fall, President Trump signed an executive order today [0:57] recommending splitting up some children's vaccine that are currently grouped together. John Remus [1:03] has more on the latest recommendation that's once again putting the administration at odds [1:08] with the medical community. Americans are living about 10 years longer on average than they did in [1:15] 1960. And thanks to modern vaccines, some diseases have all but disappeared. But now there is a growing [1:21] distrust of vaccines among some people. And on this day, President Trump pulled the issue into the [1:26] political arena. Nothing bad can happen from what we're doing. Nothing bad can happen. [1:37] President Trump's executive order establishes recommendations of only 11 core vaccinations [1:42] for children under 17, including MMR, a combination dose to fight measles, mumps, and rubella. [1:49] But not everyone agrees with the order. I think it's another piece of poorly advised information to give to the [1:59] public. Dr. Yvonne Maldonado is a global health professor at Stanford University and a pediatrician [2:05] for 35 years. The order recommends that MMR vaccine be split up into individual doses for the three [2:12] illnesses. At one year, you should have five separate visits for vaccines rather than getting them all in [2:20] the same day. And I saw this early on, and I've seen proof of it, where they have a vaccination that looks [2:26] like the size of a bottle of soda poured into a little child's body. [2:33] Dr. Maldonado says beyond the exaggeration, the recommendations could interfere with children [2:38] becoming immunized. We've had almost 60 years of experience. These vaccines are incredibly safe. [2:45] But it is very hard for families to come in and get multiple shots for measles, for mumps, [2:52] for rubella. We would wind up starting to see drops in vaccine coverage for families who can't [3:00] afford to keep coming in when one visit would do. [3:04] But plenty of people are questioning the effects of vaccines, especially Health and Human Services [3:09] Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr., who said 30 years ago, the rate of autism among children was one in 10,000. [3:16] The rate, according to CDC, today in this country is one in every 31 children. In California, [3:25] it's one in every 19 children, one in every 12.5 boys. So something happened in the mid-90s [3:33] that changed our children, and it has to be an environmental exposure. [3:39] Again, Dr. Maldonado challenged the truth of that statement. [3:42] There are no data to suggest that these vaccines cause autism. The data that is cited or quoted [3:52] by the Secretary of Health and Human Services and others in his camp is flawed data or absolute [4:00] outright mis- and disinformation. No data. [4:03] The order establishes recommendations, not mandates. But it also encourages more parental [4:09] authority in immunization decisions and directs the federal government to improve vaccine research. [4:16] Dr. Maldonado says separate doses of the MMR vaccine do not exist at this time and could take [4:22] years of clinical trials to create. The executive order comes as the number of measles cases so far [4:29] this year have already surpassed the total for all of last year. California has reported some cases, [4:35] but some of the largest outbreaks this year happened in Utah, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia. [4:41] And the American Academy of Pediatrics also came out against today's executive order calling it [4:46] dangerous. They encourage parents who have questions to talk with their child's pediatrician. [4:51] All right, a new school year. It brought changes for Oakland Unified students on their first day of [4:56] class today. The district implemented its new cell phone ban. It is part of a statewide requirement for [5:02] schools to set policies limiting smartphone use on campus. Oakland's policy requires cell phones [5:10] to be locked away for the entire school day in a classroom lock box for elementary students and in [5:17] lockable pouches for middle and high school students. School officials hope this will reduce [5:22] distraction and improve the learning experience for students. They say if parents need to contact [5:27] their child, they can call the office. Definitely systems in place when parents need to contact their [5:33] students at school or leave a message. So that's always been in place. School officials also say there [5:40] are some exceptions to this new policy, including health and safety emergencies or when students get [5:46] permission from staff to access their phones. All right, now to Solano County where a state of emergency [5:52] has been declared in Sassoon City because of a cyber attack. This issue left City Hall closed today and [5:58] it could continue to impact city businesses well into this week. The city says the malware was discovered [6:04] early Friday, forcing it to shut down its entire IT network to contain the threat. 911 routing, emergency [6:13] dispatcher, police and fire and other critical city services were all initially impacted. But the city says [6:20] dispatchers are now taking calls to the county dispatch center. There's a likelihood that City Hall could be [6:25] closed the whole week. Now again, from a public safety standpoint, won't impact everybody. The city [6:31] police department lobby is still open if people want to come there to interact with with the police [6:35] department. But for us and water and housing, there's just no value to having the public come in [6:40] because we're pretty much at a standstill right now. Most online city services are not available right now. The [6:46] city also says it is too early to tell if there was any personal data stolen in this cyber attack. And [6:52] this is not the first cyber attack on a Bay Area city. Last week, the city of Pittsburgh revealed that [6:57] it paid out nearly a million dollars to a fake vendor early this year in a Nigerian phishing scam. [7:04] Seven hundred thousand dollars of that money has been recovered in March. Foster City was also hit by a [7:10] ransomware attack that led to disruptions of its public services. Entire buildings collapsing across [7:23] Colombia this morning as a powerful 7.4 magnitude earthquake rocked the country. At least 111 people [7:30] were killed and dozens more injured. It was the largest quake on record to hit Colombia. In fact, [7:36] video shows streets now filled with dust and debris and first responders are continuing to search through [7:41] the rubble for the survivors. And then you can see on this map where the quake hit in San Jose del Palmar, [7:47] and that's about 250 miles west of Colombia's capital of Bogota. More than 10 million people [7:53] reported feeling the shaking, including all the way to south in Ecuador. Now witness videos show the [8:00] terrifying scene and you can see a multi-story health center. It was shaking violently and then partially [8:05] collapsing. Officials say buildings across the region suffered extensive damage. One Bay Area [8:12] woman says her family and friends in Colombia are safe, but some no longer have their homes. [8:19] Well, right now they're looking where to stay regarding my family and my friends. Some of them, [8:25] if they're able to go out of the city, they will do it because, for example, I do have families [8:30] throughout the whole country, right? So some of them are able to go back to their hometown and stay there. [8:37] So it depends. But right now they're just looking to stay safe and stay together. [8:43] This earthquake is on the same fault line that rocked Venezuela when those powerful twin quakes [8:49] killed more than 6,000 people back in June. Fire crews in Monterey County are facing a challenging [8:55] night as they try to contain a wildfire forcing evacuations in Big Sur. The timber fire is burning [9:01] east of Highway 1. It broke out Sunday morning in the Los Padres National Forest and it has since [9:07] tripled in size, scorching 1,700 acres. Right now it is only 5% contained. Evacuation orders and warnings [9:16] have been issued for seven areas around the fire, including parts of the popular Pfeiffer Big Sur State [9:22] Park and the luxury Ventana Resort. About 16 miles of Highway 1 are closed to traffic. [9:29] New video tonight. It shows what fire crews are up against. These flames just chewing [9:33] through dry vegetation on hillsides. Dust and smoke lowering the visibility for all of the crews as [9:40] they navigate fire trucks on narrow dirt roads. Officials say that conditions have worsened in the [9:46] area and they're using aircraft to stop the fire's growth. Cal Fire says that accessing the fire seems [9:52] to be one of the most challenging issues. Very difficult to fight. It's very rugged, inaccessible [9:58] terrain. There's a north-south road, which is, you know, the top end of it off of Coast Ridge Road. [10:06] And then there's Highway 1 and there's really nothing that goes east-west that connects those two roads. [10:11] So deputies are also in the area trying to make sure that hikers and others know that they need to evacuate. [10:18] Coming up in the forecast, we are about to get help from the marine layer. In fact, [10:24] no heat advisories. That is not the story for us going forward. Instead, 70s, if you're inland, [10:30] believe it or not, that's coming in this forecast. And maybe a small chance of some dry lightning later [10:34] in the week. We're going to look at all that coming up next. Thanks, Darren. And one of the last [10:38] chances to see the Niners on the field up close before the preseason starts. Up next, meet the young [10:44] fan who missed his first day back in school due to a bad case of football fever. A wonderful first day [10:51] of school. What better way to do it than come to training camp? [11:00] Okay, it is the countdown to kick off only three more days until the Niners play their first [11:05] preseason game at Levi's Stadium. Can you believe it? But some loyal fans, they got a preview today. [11:10] And our Brad Hamilton spent the day with some fans who came out for another day of training camp, [11:15] including a third grader who, oops, skipped his first day of school. The 49ers faithful were out [11:27] in full force for Monday's open practice as the team gears up for its first preseason game on Thursday. [11:34] It's the best time of the year for me. It's like opening up a Christmas gift. For some, [11:38] it was a chance to make one last summer memory before the kids head back to school. Others had to [11:43] convince mom before getting the green light. Yeah, wonderful first day of school. What better way [11:49] to do it than come to training camp, bring the little guy, show him a little Niner football. Yes, [11:54] Steve Prasad says his son Sean was supposed to be in class today for the first day of third grade. [12:00] Instead, he's spending one last day with dad and the team they both love most. It makes the love I have [12:08] for the team, it gets passed down to him. And it's just amazing. Like we actually watch football together. [12:12] Now we actually sit down and we talk about it. He knows players, he knows people, he knows what's [12:16] going on. This is our fourth training camp together? Third. Yeah, our third and then his second. [12:22] Alex and Priscilla Ponce have a son of their own and they're hoping to pass down that love of the [12:27] game to Mateo. Mom joked that dad's love of the Niners was a plus when they were dating. So, Mateo, [12:34] you might not know it yet, but the scarlet and gold is already in your DNA. You want to like pass the [12:40] tradition down, you know, so this is my plan before he was born and then we're doing it now. So, [12:45] trying to keep it as long as a tradition as we can. For me, it means the world. We're big 49er fans. [12:49] I have a 49er tattoo. Then there was Karina Fernandez, whose fandom is literally permanent. [12:55] She comes here once a year with her boys, a tradition they'll never skip. They're both our football [13:02] players, so hopefully TJ will play for the 49ers one day and get us all VIP tickets. Whether the highlight of [13:08] the day was a selfie with Sourdough Sam or getting a glimpse of the players that they love most, [13:14] this wasn't just about football. It was about family. It was about tradition [13:19] and about creating the kind of memories these kids might one day pass down to their own. [13:25] Sourdough Sam's a lefty. Breaking news, Sourdough Sam left-handed. [13:31] Okay, return of the 49ers football. That means the return of Vern Glenn and the red and gold report. [13:37] Back for another season. Here we are. Let me tell you something. Nothing, [13:40] nothing drives the bus in this market like the 49ers. And those young kids that we saw in that [13:46] package, I mean, they were born into a 49er fan family. And so that's just all they know, [13:52] red and gold. All right, so here we go. It's kickoff for preseason. It'll be Thursday where these teams, [13:58] well, 49ers and the Tennessee Titans will have a joint practice Tuesday in Santa Clara. Now, [14:05] linebacker Fred Warner might be excited to see a different colored jersey on Tuesday, [14:11] but the four-time All-Pro has been using one of the leaders in the Niners' office to try and get [14:17] better as Warner enters his ninth NFL season. You know, man, there's always just that connection, [14:25] old me and Brock Purdy, right? Both the quarterbacks. I'm the quarterback defense. [14:29] He's the quarterback of the offense. Well, iron sharpens iron, right? [14:31] Iron sharpens iron. I think both of us, you know, just go at it every single day. [14:35] Sometimes he gets me, sometimes I get him, but I think that's what makes both of us better. [14:39] He's trying to find, man, how can I get Fred? And I'm thinking, man, how can I get that beautiful [14:43] football out of Brock Purdy's hands into my hands? So, man, it's always just a great, [14:49] fun battle every day. [14:50] I've seen those battles. And Fred Warner, he tries to get inside your head. Yeah, yeah, [14:56] yeah, yeah. He's a gamer. So let's watch him get after it on Thursday, Jules. I'm sorry, [15:00] on Wednesday, Jules. Thursday. Thursday. But they don't, they don't give all of their best [15:04] plays out on Thursday, right? No, you don't show your hand. No, you [15:07] keep it close to the vest, man. Yeah, you don't show your wedding dress day before. [15:10] Not at all. Okay. You told me that one. Okay. All right. You can catch all of the action [15:14] here on KPIX. Our pre-grading coverage kicks off at 5 p.m. on Thursday. Thursday, [15:19] that is. We'll be live from Levi's Stadium. 5.30 is our countdown to kickoff with the game at six. [15:24] Then stick around afterward for fifth quarter with Vern and Matt. [15:28] All right. We're going to turn our attention to the forecast now. Juliet was telling you about [15:33] the timber fire. That's the one burning down in Big Sur. You can see it down there on our locator, [15:38] right in the heart of some of the most attracted part where visitors like to go. I want to show you [15:43] what's happening down there today in terms of the marine layer, which would have had such a wonderful [15:49] impact on fire weather conditions if the fire wasn't burning up on the ridge. That fire is burning [15:54] up at around 3,000 feet, tantalizingly close to the marine layer right down the hill. But the marine [15:58] layer is only about 1,000 feet high. I'll show you what impact that's having in one second. Obviously, [16:02] it's not going to help with the fire. That's the smoke forecast. You can see the concentrations of [16:07] smoke coming off that fire will drift generally our way, but we're not really concerned about much [16:11] smoke getting up here from that fire. Right now, it's at about 1,800 acres. It's like 5% contained. They've got a way to go. [16:18] Here's a little more insight on where it's burning. That's Highway 1. And you can see where this fire [16:22] is burning up along the ridge. So this ridge top up here, Timber Top, is a very well-known campground [16:27] up there on top of Burunda Ridge. It's a very popular hike. So this is about 3,000 feet high up on that ridge. [16:33] Marine layer is probably only getting about that high. So most of this stuff is burning in an entirely [16:38] different world, much hotter and much drier. And by the way, follow Highway 1 back up to the north a bit. [16:43] This is where the majority of campgrounds, hotels, restaurants, all in this little valley here. [16:48] Very close. A very popular part of Big Sur. No stranger to fires like that. It's got a very [16:55] developed, long burn history there, which is actually good news because that landscape has [16:59] seen many fires over the last two decades, which means it at least helps with what's available there [17:06] for the fire to work with. Not as much. All right, let's come back home. If the marine layer is not high [17:11] enough to get to the ridge top, it's not getting to the top of the Santa Cruz Mountains right now. [17:15] And when we play the future cast forward, it's not going to get over them tonight. So we won't [17:18] see much of the marine layer through the Santa Clara Valley. But we will see plenty of it come [17:22] through the Golden Gate and the Petaluma Gap. Look at those two ribbons there. This is what happens [17:26] when the marine layer is getting pushed relatively low. It'll at least fill in all of Napa. It'll fill in [17:31] pretty much all of the interior of Sonoma County. And then if you're near the Golden Gate, [17:35] you'll definitely wake up gray. It's just you won't see it in many other places. However, [17:39] the cool air is still getting in here. We have started to cool down. And when you look at the [17:43] daytime highs going from Monterey Canyon all the way north. 84 in San Jose tomorrow. Cool 68 in Santa [17:49] Cruz. You'll see the marine layer most of the day as well. San Francisco at 68. But it's going to be 90 [17:53] again tomorrow in Livermore. 86 in Concord. A much cooler 78 in Santa Rosa. Remember, the marine layer is [17:59] going to get all the way in. And that's really going to help cool you down and make for a much nicer day. [18:04] I've got one item to point out here in terms of what could be interesting by the time we get to about [18:09] Wednesday or Thursday of this week. So we're going to go back to some of the forecast imagery. [18:13] And what we're going to see on here is the development each day coming from the east of [18:17] a few thunderstorms that want to pop up over the Sierra. But if we let this keep playing, [18:21] by the time we get to Wednesday and Thursday, some of that gets over here. Now, I don't have rain in [18:26] the forecast. If we got rain, it'd be a drop or two. The real concern with that is if those showers [18:31] get over here, are they going to come in the form of isolated thunderstorms, which could then [18:36] potentially drop dry lightning. And with a very small chance of that, the odds are not zero, [18:42] but they're fairly low. We want them to be zero. So any small chance for dry lightning is something [18:46] we're going to watch very closely. That would be Wednesday and Thursday morning. Not a lot of it. [18:50] Other than that, stories to cool down. Daytime highs staying below average for the next seven days. [18:56] These are numbers that were sitting at 100 yesterday. It's going to be mainly low 80s going [19:00] through the next seven days, maybe even a few upper 70s. And when we look at the seven day forecast on here [19:04] for the bay, those numbers are also coming in below average. Marine layer gray mornings, [19:09] and then a layer cake of like mid-level and high-level clouds staying with us throughout the rest of the [19:13] day. All right, Juliette, back to you. All right. Thanks so much. Coming up, it's a traffic alert [19:17] for late commuters. The months long project starting on the Bay Bridge tonight that could cause some big [19:22] delays. In just a few hours, nightly lane closures will start on the Bay Bridge and it could slow [19:30] traffic to a crawl. Caltrans plans to close four lanes on the eastbound span as they install a new [19:36] platform. Those lanes will shut down between 10 p.m. and 7 a.m. Sunday through Thursday. [19:41] That will happen every week until October. Caltrans is installing the new platform to make it safer [19:46] for crews to paint the bridge. All right, up next. The party may be over, but there was still a lot of [19:53] activity at San Francisco's Golden Gate Park today. We'll show you why next. Another outside [20:01] land is in the books for San Francisco. And today crews were busy packing up after the three-day [20:06] festival at Golden Gate Park. More than 75,000 people attended each day with Rufus Dussault closing [20:13] out the festival last night. And if you missed it this year, organizers have already set the dates [20:18] for 2027, August 6th through the 8th. There you go. We don't know who's showing up. And guess what? [20:26] Doesn't sound like there was any traffic problems this time. All right. Thanks for watching. Our next [20:30] newscast is at 8 on Pix Plus. See you back here at 11 o'clock. Have a great one.
