US won't contribute to global vaccine group Gavi until it has 're-earned' trust: RFK Jr.

Health and Human Ser vices Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced on Wednesday that he plans to cut a wealth of U.S. funding to Gavi, an international vaccine alliance that seeks to immunize the world’s poorest communities.

During a video message at the Gavi fundraising event in Brussels, Kennedy announced plans to cut financial ties to the organization until it had “re-earned the public trust,” according to Politico. The U.S. will continue a few key grant programs for medications to treat HIV and tuberculosis, and deliver food aid to countries in turmoil.
