This move by Kennedy is just awful
Gavi works in close partnership (operationally and financially) with governments around the world to distribute life-saving vaccines to children. Their work has saved nearly 20 million lives since 2000.
Kennedy is either misinformed or lying, but either way children will die as a result.

A good starting point for reporters, headline writers, and readers is to not take for granted the government's initial claims. Because they are probably not true.
Seeing claims about the judge "hiding" the defendant. Read the complaint, folks (written by DOJ). The guy was literally in the public area where the agents were. I guess he got on an elevator before they could get to him. The complaint says after letting the defendant exit she came back to the bench

We've been talking an awful lot about how the Trump tariffs will hit the big players: the UK, China, Canada, France, Germany etc
But it's time to talk about the ones who DON'T have loud voices. Because some of the poorest countries in the world are going to be crippled by what happened last night

First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.

Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder.
