Lancet study reveals that vaccines have saved 154 million lives over the past 50 years, mostly infants, or 6 lives per minute. This would make the advent of vaccines the single greatest contribution to keeping babies alive. The measles vaccine has been the most significant, accounting for 60% of the lives saved due to immunization.
All that will likely change, thanks to Trump and RFK Jr. Not only are fewer people being vaccinated because of irrational and unfounded fear of vaccines, promoted by hucksters like RFK. The Trump administration's slashing of USAID and other international aid will also reduce vaccination rates among the poorest and most vulnerable children in the world.
