“Our vaccine policy in the state of Maryland will be driven by science and not driven by internet conspiracy theories."

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore defending a new state-led approach to vaccine policy. Moore made the remark while signing the Vax Act, which shifts authority over vaccine recommendations to Maryland officials rather than relying solely on federal guidance. Supporters say the law will expand access and ensure evidence-based care, while critics warn it could create confusion by diverging from national standards. (Baltimore Sun)
