flag Canada distrusts U.S. health institutions over political interference, leading to stronger science-based partnerships and vaccination efforts amid a measles outbreak.

flag Canada’s Health Minister Marjorie Michel stated that the country can no longer trust U.S. health institutions due to concerns over political interference, misinformation, and policy changes under the Trump administration. flag She cited budget cuts to the CDC and NIH, revisions to the CDC’s website contradicting vaccine safety science, and recommendations by an advisory panel—appointed under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—to alter childhood vaccination schedules, including eliminating routine newborn hepatitis B vaccines. flag These shifts have eroded confidence in U.S. public health data. flag In response, Canada is prioritizing science-based partnerships with like-minded nations and strengthening domestic vaccination efforts. flag This comes amid a persistent measles outbreak that led the Pan American Health Organization to revoke Canada’s measles-free status in 2025, driven by vaccine hesitancy, misinformation, and systemic public health challenges. flag Michel acknowledged lingering public distrust but expressed optimism that confidence in science is gradually returning.
