Where the framing diverges

Both provided sides report the same core action (Trump signing an executive order to limit childhood vaccines and split the MMR shot), but differ in emphasis. The center outlet foregrounds a medical association's critical reaction, characterizing the recommendation as dangerous. The right-leaning outlet foregrounds Trump's own words and rationale, quoting his claims about the MMR vaccine's lethality and its suggested link to autism.
