The United States will withdraw its financial support of Gavi, a global organization that helps purchase vaccines for children in poor countries, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the United States secretary of Health and Human Services, told the group\u2019s leaders on Wednesday, accusing them of having \u201cignored the science\u201d in immunizing children around the world.<\/p>\n

Mr. Kennedy made the incendiary remarks in a brief, prerecorded video message sent overnight to a gathering of health ministers and other leaders in Brussels focused on raising funds to support the work of Gavi. It was to be played for the group later on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen vaccine safety issues have come before Gavi, Gavi has treated them not as a patient health problem, but as a public relations problem,\u201d Mr. Kennedy said in the address.<\/p>\n

Mr. Kennedy said that Gavi\u2019s leaders had been selective in their use of science to support vaccine choices, and that the United States would not deliver on a $1.2 billion pledge made by the Biden administration until the organization changed its processes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cIn its zeal to promote universal vaccination, it has neglected the key issue of vaccine safety,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In a statement, Gavi\u2019s leaders rejected the suggestion that its vaccine purchases were driven by anything other than the best available evidence.<\/p>\n
