Monitor whether CDC/FDA actually change vaccine schedules in response, or if this remains symbolic. Track state-level public health responses and any measles/pertussis outbreak data in coming months as leading indicator of real-world harm.
This executive order represents genuine institutional capture (CDC/FDA guidance override) and civil rights harm (parental choice weaponized against public health infrastructure), scoring A=49. However, it generates massive emotional response and media coverage disproportionate to immediate governance mechanism, while dropping during a week of higher-constitutional-damage actions (voter data demands, civil service purges), yielding B=59. The 10-point margin makes it List B with MIXED badge.
