Robert F Kennedy Jr announced the U.S. will stop funding Gavi, a health initiative aiding global vaccination efforts, due to alleged questionable guidelines around COVID-19 and the DTPw vaccine. In a video message, Kennedy urged Gavi to justify its $8 billion received since 2001 and reconsider the science behind its vaccine investments. He expressed the need for Gavi to re-establish trust with the public. Gavi responded, reinforcing its commitment to safety and the effectiveness of its vaccines, which it claims have significantly reduced child mortality rates.
Kennedy stated, "I call on Gavi today to re-earn the public trust and to justify the $8bn that America has provided in funding since 2001."
Gavi countered by emphasizing, "safety was one of its top priorities and that it acts in line with World Health Organization recommendations."
