A key pillar of first lady Melania Trump's 'Be Best' initiative is promoting the 'well-being' of children. But as a measles outbreak threatens the well-being of some US children, the first lady herself has yet to weigh in on vaccinations
Washington When first lady Melania Trump unveiled her"Be Best" platform last year, a key pillar of her signature initiative was promoting the"well-being" of children. But as a measles outbreak threatens the well-being of some US children, the first lady herself has yet to weigh in on vaccinations, thus far declining to speak out on a critical topic.
Celebrating one year of Be Best in the White House Rose Garden Tuesday, Trump highlighted her efforts promoting children's kindness, healthy living and respect, as well as a newly expanded focus on online safety and talking about the dangers of opioid abuse. National Institutes of Health director Dr. Francis Collins was invited to the podium to make brief remarks, and he emphatically said something the first lady didn't.
