Republican House candidates in purple districts who support changing the childhood vaccine schedule could pay the price in midterms, according to new data from President Donald Trump’s go-to pollster, Fabrizio Ward. “In the districts that will decide the control of the House of Representatives next year, Republican and Democratic candidates who support eliminating long standing vaccine requirements will pay a price in the elections,” says a Nov. 3 memo obtained by The Daily S

Democrats like to say, for a lack of a better term, that Republicans hate sick people. I have cystic fibrosis: a chronic, life-threatening genetic disease, and I’m sick and tired of Democrats lying and fear mongering to people who are already sick and tired. The Affordable Care Act was fundamentally flawed from the start, and was never designed to function without massive, unsustainable subsidies. It ultimately was doomed to fail. The ACA drove up costs, narrowed provider net

After pro-life leaders rejected President Donald Trump’s admonition to be “a little bit flexible” on the Hyde Amendment, some White House officials are looking to walk back that statement, three sources familiar with the administration’s thinking told The Daily Signal. Many pro-life leaders objected to the call to be flexible on Hyde, which bans taxpayer-funded abortion, and the administration has received their message, the sources said. The Hyde Amendment is longstanding po

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced Monday a major overhaul of the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule , reducing the number of routine immunizations recommended for children. According to a CDC release, Deputy Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Jim O’Neill, serving as acting CDC director, signed a decision memorandum accepting the findings of a comprehensive scientific assessment ordered by President Donald Trump in December. The assessment exa

President Donald Trump told our new Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to “go wild” on health. Backing up Kennedy, Trump issued an executive order to create a special commission, chaired by Kennedy himself, to investigate, report, and recommend strategies to combat chronic disease. Importantly, the health of American children is the primary focus of this ambitious effort.    Kennedy’s task is enormous, and perhaps providential. In a major

Americans grappling with affordability just got a helpful boost from the Trump administration, which on Friday announced a new push to reduce health care costs.  The move helps patients get health care prices upfront rather than astronomically high surprise bills later. The new Transparency in Coverage (TiC) proposed rule will improve data structure, reduce unnecessary file size and increase usability. This will make transparency easier to analyze and more accessible to emplo

Before Robin Westman murdered two children and wounded many more at Minneapolis’ Annunciation Catholic School, Robin was Robert, a troubled teenager whose mother worked for the parish. Robert’s mother approved the name change, but after Robert became Robin in 2020, the teen’s psychological problems obviously didn’t go away—they led, five years later, to carnage. A serious discussion of transgenderism, mental illness, and violence is long overdue. Earlier this year, the “Zizia

Republican Sen. Rick Scott of Florida has a bill attempting something that has challenged Republicans for years—reforming the Affordable Care Act. “Obamacare has failed to deliver on its promises: families didn’t get to keep their insurance plans, couldn’t keep their doctors, and didn’t save money—and neither did the federal government,” Scott says in a statement announcing the bill.  Scott’s bill is part of ongoing health care proposals and negotiations in the wake of the go

One of the most widely known risks linked to the COVID-19 vaccine is myocarditis, especially in young males — and now a new Stanford study has shed some light on why this rare effect can occur. Myocarditis, which is inflammation of the heart, occurs in about one in 140,000 people who receive the first dose of the vaccine and one in 32,000 after the second dose, according to a Stanford press release. Among males 30 and younger , that rises to one in 16,750. Symptoms of the co

Medical victim Chloe Cole was at the center of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Thursday announcement of proposed regulatory actions to end "sex-rejecting procedures" on minors. The proposed regulatory actions by the HHS are part of President Donald Trump 's January executive order calling on the department to protect children from "chemical and surgical mutilation." The department is rolling out a series of policy updates and regulatory actions that would ef

Honoring America's veterans means more than reflecting on their service now and then. It means supporting those still fighting battles that are largely unseen by others.  Advocates are spotlighting a nationwide effort to end veteran suicide. The effort is 24/7.  The Ad Council and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) are partnering on a campaign called "Don’t Wait. Reach Out." It encourages veterans to seek help and connect with the resources they deserve. The campaign str

Oprah Winfrey is shining a light on family estrangement, which she calls "one of the fastest-growing cultural shifts of our time" — but one expert says the media mogul helped fuel that very culture. "A Cornell University study now shows that almost one-third of Americans are actively estranged from a family member," Winfrey said on a recent episode of "The Oprah Podcast," referring to adult children going "no-contact" with parents, siblings or entire family systems. Winfrey s

Ivanka Trump, daughter of President Donald Trump, has been hitting the water for a workout. The 44-year-old mother of three has been open about her active lifestyle, which has included resistance training, racquet sports and jiu-jitsu lessons for the whole family, as Fox News Digital has reported. Recently, Trump has been spotted paddleboarding in her home state of Florida. She was photographed on the water in a black athletic mini-dress with matching visor and sunglasses on

Maintaining good health and longevity sometimes takes more than medicine, according to Dr. Marc Siegel. In his new book, "The Miracles Among Us," the Fox News senior medical analyst shares miraculous stories of healing and life-saving moments that exceed the bounds of medical intervention. "The book is amazing because it tells itself," he said. "The stories aren't mine; the stories are real. And what's interesting about them is that they are compilations that lead up to mirac

More data is emerging supporting a sharp decline in the number of young adults identifying as transgender or non-binary. Last week, Fox News Digital reported on data shared by Eric Kaufman , a professor of politics at the University of Buckingham, showing that the share of college students identifying as anything other than male or female has been cut in half in just two years. Now, Jean Twenge, professor of psychology at San Diego State University, has identified additional

A West Virginia judge ruled on Wednesday that parents can use religious beliefs to opt out of school vaccine requirements for their children. Raleigh County Circuit Judge Michael Froble on Wednesday issued a permanent injunction, saying children of families who object to the state's compulsory vaccination law on religious grounds will be permitted to attend school and participate in extracurricular sports. Froble found that a state policy prohibiting parents from seeking reli

Two large studies have put a spotlight on potential health risks of the COVID vaccine — but some experts urge caution when interpreting the findings. Recent research has linked the vaccine to a higher risk of kidney injury, as well as certain respiratory infections. A Korean study published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases looked at how infectious diseases changed during and after the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the impact of vaccines. "While influenza-li

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has updated its website with a new stance on the potential link between vaccines and autism. The new wording on the CDC’s site now states, "The claim 'vaccines do not cause autism' is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism." It also adds, "Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities." The agency noted that the statement "vaccines do no

Government agencies will soon begin scrubbing federal employees’ COVID-19 vaccination records from their personnel files after a four-year-long legal battle over former President Joe Biden’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Feds For Freedom announced Wednesday that it had reached a settlement with the Department of Justice (DOJ) that requires the Office of Personnel Management to direct federal agencies to expunge personnel records related to the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, including

President Donald Trump will sign an executive order Monday to reinstate service members who were canned from the military for refusing the COVID-19 vaccination. Service members, whether active or reserve, will be restored to their prior rank, receiving full back pay and benefits, according to a fact sheet provided to the Daily Caller News Foundation. Former Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin discharged over 8,000 members for refusing the vaccination, and only 43 returned to servi
