Vaccine Shifts and the MLK Holiday 40 Years On

The CDC’s recent shift away from universal childhood vaccine recommendations marks a significant change in U.S. health policy. Moving toward a shared decision-making model between clinicians and parents, this change aligns the U.S. more closely with some European countries but has sparked debate among public health experts and parents alike. We unpack how Americans view this new approach, including strong overall support for routine vaccines and school mandates but also notable variations in confidence around vaccine safety, testing, and scheduling by political affiliation, age, and education.

Then, we turn to Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a widely respected holiday that offers a moment for national reflection on civil rights and racial justice. While nearly all Americans hold Dr. King in high regard, actual participation in community service and civic activities remains limited and uneven across different groups. We examine how these patterns reveal both shared values and ongoing challenges in civic engagement and social equality.

Finally, we lighten things up with a fun fact from polling, highlighting a question that asked Americans which modern presidential election they think would have most surprised the Founding Fathers.
