President Trump discusses US baby fertility decline and vaccine overload

During a White House event Dr. Oz warned that one‑third of Americans are "under‑babied," meaning they have fewer or no children, and noted that the US fertility rate has fallen below the 2.1 replacement level. He highlighted higher maternal mortality in rural areas and cited a proposed Working Families Tax Cut as a possible remedy.

In a separate interview, President Donald Trump said that "beautiful little babies" are receiving "a big glass of stuff" through vaccines, arguing that mandatory vaccination schedules are excessive. Trump expressed support for reducing the number of recommended childhood shots, referencing a recent HHS revision that cut the schedule from 17 to 10 vaccines. Both comments reflect the administration’s focus on demographic trends and vaccine policy in the United States.
