Kennedy’s Handpicked Vaccine Advisers Are Set to Meet for the First Time. My comments with Apoorva Mandavilli The New York Times nytimes.com/2025/06/25/hea… via @NYTimes



Mr. Kennedy is wrong. Here’s my analysis of the health impact of the Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance alliance in saving under 5 child deaths, based on newest open access Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) estimates.
