"Kennedy argued in the video that GAVI "has neglected the key issue of vaccine safety" and accused the alliance of treating safety concerns as a public relations problem."
"Gavi says it has helped vaccinate more than 1.1 billion children in 78 low-income countries and prevented more than 18.8 million deaths since its creation 25 years ago."
The CDC's panel postponed a vote on the RSV vaccine following sudden funding cessation announcements for Gavi by U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. In a video message, Kennedy criticized Gavi for allegedly neglecting vaccine safety, suggesting that the organization treats safety issues more like a public relations hurdle, rather than a health concern. This announcement, which came amidst a significant funding meeting in Brussels, has drawn shock and outrage, particularly because the U.S. has been a prominent contributor to Gavi's efforts in vaccination worldwide.
