RFK Jr. says US won’t donate to global vaccine effort Kennedy ripped into Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, in a video address at its pledging summit.

This is a travesty & a nightmare. The US was a founder of @gavi.org. It lowers global vaccine costs, has vaccinated 1B children, & averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year - and RFK Jr will be personally responsible.

A photo of the NSF logo design on a carpet on the floor.

We approached our responsibility to evaluate taxpayer-funded work with both great care & excitement about the future. It's incredibly sad to watch the casual destruction of so much hard, essential work

Up to 40% of Hepatitis B infections are actually acquired in childhood and kill thousands of Americans per year.

If we trust genetic engineering to save a child from leukemia, why reject it when it could save a child from blindness, malnutrition, or death?

We cure cancer with genetic engineering but ban it on the farm.

Celebrating one but demonizing the other fuels disinformation that costs lives.
