The U.S.’s Most Concerning Anti-Vaccine Policy

The Trump administration's anti-vaccine policies are undermining immunization efforts domestically and globally, particularly by withholding funding from Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has made unsubstantiated claims against vaccines and Gavi, while the White House has dismantled or defunded key health organizations like USAID and the WHO. The poorest and most vulnerable populations are suffering the greatest consequences of these policy changes.
