The AAP stood up to nonscientific policies that endanger children.
The administration retaliated by cutting funding.

Whooping cough—pertussis—cases are soaring as vaccination rates drop. In a survey of 31 states, about 70% of jurisdictions fell below the vaccination rate needed to keep communities safe. In some states babies have died. Others have been so sick they've been admitted to ICUs & placed on a ventilator

Here is what I think the research team to whom RFK Jr. just gave $1.6 million to do a randomized controlled trial of HepB vaccine in Guinea-Bissau is going to do.
Although the WHO recommendation is to administer the HepB vaccine at birth, infants in G-B usually get it at 6 weeks, not at birth.
