正当许多医生紧跟现代医学的最新进展（从强效减肥药到突破性癌症疗法）时，儿科医生却被迫开倒车，艰难捍卫几十年前来之不易的儿童健康成果。
As many doctors are moving ahead with the latest advances of modern medicine—from powerful obesity drugs to breakthrough cancer treatments—pediatricians are being forced to turn back, fighting to maintain advances in children's health that were hard-won decades ago.
随着反疫苗倡导者小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪（Robert F. Kennedy Jr.）担任卫生部长，美国儿科学会（AAP）在过去一年里花费了大量时间和资源，全力捍卫拯救生命的疫苗——这些安全、常规的注射在几十年里挽救了数百万儿童的生命，避免了无数的痛苦和残疾。
With anti-vaccine advocate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as health secretary, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has spent a considerable amount of time and resources in the past year fiercely defending lifesaving vaccinations—safe, routine shots that have saved the lives of millions of children over decades and thwarted untold suffering and disability.
然而就在本周，《纽约时报》报道称，得克萨斯州总检察长肯·帕克斯顿（Ken Paxton）对儿科医生展开了激进的调查，原因仅仅是他们为患者接种了疫苗。帕克斯顿错误地声称疫苗是“多层次、多产业计划”的一部分。但批评人士指出，帕克斯顿正竞选美国参议员，其反疫苗运动似乎更多是为了讨好肯尼迪、特朗普总统及其支持者。
But just this week, The New York Times reported that Ken Paxton, the attorney general of Texas, has opened aggressive investigations against pediatricians simply because they vaccinated their patients. Paxton falsely claims vaccines are part of a "multi-level, multi-industry scheme." But critics say his anti-vaccine campaign appears more aimed at currying favor with Kennedy, President Trump, and their supporters as Paxton runs for the US Senate.
