WHO Global Alliance Delivers 100M Vaccines to 18M Kids
The Spin
Clean water, sanitation, fresh food and good hygiene are the real drivers of better public health outcomes, and vaccines have historically played a minor role at best. The push to vaccinate millions of children worldwide is driven far more by industrial interests than by genuine science. Until more parents question this narrative, harmful vaccines will stay on shelves.
Vaccines are one of the most powerful tools in public health history, responsible for roughly 40% of the global decline in infant mortality since 1974 and an estimated 87 million child deaths prevented between 1990 and 2019. Their safety is extensively proven.The Big Catch-Up initiative proves that political will and resources can save lives at scale. This is epidemiology, not opinion.
