Unnecessary cuts could destroy public health beyond repair

The only thing worse than the painful death of a child is the easily preventable painful death of a child.

Already, as a result of the Trump administration’s attack on the public health community, which includes defunding the U.S. Agency for International Development and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, many children are dying unnecessarily.  

According to the New York Times, this may result in 1.2 million children dying and 75 million not receiving routine vaccinations over the next five years.
