In March 2025, the U.S. announced it would stop supporting international public health programs providing vaccinations to millions of children, impacting worldwide health efforts. This decision follows earlier cuts to U.S. AID programs for child nutrition. Such actions reflect a perceived abandonment of responsibility towards non-American children, paralleling domestic initiatives that threaten childhood health programs like Vaccines for Children. A surge in vaccine-preventable infections like measles is exacerbated by a growing anti-vaccine movement, which now influences federal health policy, challenging traditional norms around public health responsibilities.
Vaccinations have never been a matter of personal choice in this country, but rather a 100-year-old societal obligation to keep America safe.
The resurgence in vaccine-preventable infections, including measles, is a predictable consequence of a well-funded anti-vaccine movement that has pushed for laws encouraging vaccine exemptions.
