Probably not outright (except maybe the COVID vaccine), but I definitely suspect they will ban mandated vaccines for children at school and mess with the recommended vaccine schedules for kids.

Well that wouldn't be good and I think that is very politically risky to try. Can't see them banning the covid vaccine because that is trump's vaccine and he wants to brag about that. Banning it would make him look bad and can't have that.

Anything COVID related is a reminder of what cost Trump re-election in 2020. It’s why Pubs are chomping at the bit to end even occasional, irregular telework for feds.

Will Vivek have a spot in the cabinet?

Yes, but he won't be a lasting one. I can't see him kissing the ring in some ways that will be demeaning to him and trump will surely put his people in embarrassing situations. He has to much money to put up with that for long.

Generally, but a fed ban would supersede the state requirements.

What would be the statute that allows the FDA to ban mandatory vaccines? The Supreme Court has been paring back the power of regulatory agencies. They just returned abortion to the states. It would be surprising to me if the Court blessed a ban of mandatory vaccine requirements at the state level -- at least in the absence of congressional approval. And I'm not sure there would be a majority for stripping the states of their traditional health and welfare role -- especially in education. Maybe you could get a national religious exemption law passed -- but I am pretty sure that already exists in all 50 states.

Look bad to whom. It won’t matter. If you have consolidated power, nothing matters. Half the country now worships a brain worm addled nincompoop to rule their health care.

In a 68-page report issued in December 2020, VA IG Michael Missal determined that "The tone set by Secretary Wilkie was at minimum unprofessional and at worst provided the basis for VA leaders' attempts to undermine the veteran's credibility" and concluded that "Using denigrating remarks and questioning the credibility of a veteran who reported being sexually assaulted, and then failing to fully explore the facts, is ... contrary to the ongoing missions of improving VA and of serving the veteran community with respect.

“…
Even now, Trump has skirted the conventional transition process and refused to sign ethics agreements that would allow his campaign to begin working with the Biden administration on the handoff, a process that typically starts six months before the election. The holdup stems from Trump’s deep mistrust of federal agencies, certainly those not run by his own loyalists. This means his team has not had to disclose donors to his transition process but has also been blocked from national security briefings and from receiving millions of dollars in funding to aid the transition.

As the struggle over the wording in the agreements has become protracted, resulting in the missing of key deadlines, Trump’s aides are unable to obtain security clearances. (Some have floated conducting their own without the FBI.)

… Trump has a raft of executive orders, policy papers and regulation reversals ready to go as soon as he’s inaugurated, two sources familiar with the plan have said.

As they look to staff the new administration, Trump and his aides have made clear they are seeking loyalty above all else, stung by the high-level appointees that turned on Trump from the last administration. Trump has pointed to his personnel decisions as perhaps the biggest mistakes of his first presidency. …”

No biggie on the intelligence briefing. Trump is already getting one from Putin.
