An unreleased poll conducted in October 2025 by President Donald Trump's pollster Tony Fabrizio found that 73 percent of voters expressed concern about childhood vaccine mandates and 90 percent expressed concern about the pharmaceutical industry's influence on policy, research, and news coverage.

The Daily Caller News Foundation obtained the poll but did not publish it at the request of its source. The poll surveyed 1,500 registered voters and was commissioned by MAHA Action.

A public poll conducted by Fabrizio's firm in November 2025 asked voters whether the administration should remove established childhood vaccine recommendations for diseases such as whooping cough, measles, and hepatitis. Support for that framing fell to 22 percent. The October poll had asked about concern over mandates without referencing specific diseases or the term established schedules.

Since April 30, three top FDA officials involved in drug policy, including Commissioner Marty Makary, have left the agency. Reports cited tensions over flavored vapes, injectable peptides, and the design of vaccine safety studies. White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and HHS Chief Counselor Chris Klomp have supported other initiatives including TrumpRx and an executive order on studying psychedelics.

In the October poll, 68 percent or more of voters supported NIH study of potential complications from multiple vaccines given to infants, opposed blanket immunity for vaccine manufacturers, and said government and individuals share responsibility for vaccination decisions.

Eleven percent said the government alone should decide. Thirty-seven percent said there is no reason to change how children receive vaccines, 45 percent said families should be able to spread out the schedule, and 8 percent said the current schedule is unsafe.

Fabrizio Lee did not respond to requests for comment.
