Kennedy pulls US funding for Gavi because it ignored the nutters screaming about 'alternative' methods during covid. He says it has to "re-earn the public trust" and "justify" the $8billion provided by the US since 2001 given it had "worked with social media to silence dissenting views, to stifle free speech and legitimate questions" during the pandemic.
fortunately for the world, Gavi relies on actual science from minds and studies around the globe whose interest lies in protecting people from disease:
the brits have stepped up to the plate, promising £1.25billion ($1.7billion) from 2026 through to 2030.

Gavi is a public-private partnership including WHO, UNICEF, the Gates Foundation and the World Bank. It has paid for more than 1 billion children to be vaccinated through routine immunization programs, saving an estimated 18 million lives. The U.S. has long been one of its biggest supporters; before Trump's re-election, the country had pledged $1 billion through 2030.
officials must "consider the best science available, even when that science contradicts established paradigms." Kennedy said until that happens, the U.S. won't contribute further to Gavi.
fortunately for the world, Gavi relies on actual science from minds and studies around the globe whose interest lies in protecting people from disease:
Gavi said in a statement Thursday that its "utmost concern is the health and safety of children." The organization said any decision it makes on vaccines to buy is done in accordance with recommendations issued by WHO's expert vaccine group.
"This ensures Gavi investments are grounded in the best available science and public health priorities," it said. Gavi said scientists had reviewed all available data, including any studies that raised concerns, and that the diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis vaccine has "played a key role in helping halve childhood mortality."
