Pediatrician Slams WHO $12 Billion Plan to Vaccinate 500 Million Children by 2030
The WHO on Monday reported that global childhood immunization rates have stalled.
Meanwhile, Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance unveiled an $11.9 billion plan to vaccinate 500 million children
by 2030. Dr. Paul Thomas warned that vaccination programs are unnecessary
and health agencies should focus on nutrition and overall health.
Global childhood immunization rates stalled in 2023, leaving millions of children “vulnerable to preventable diseases,” according to a new report from the World Health Organization (WHO) and UNICEF.
The latest WHO-UNICEF estimates show that 14.5 million children missed all doses of “routine” DTP vaccines last year, an increase from 13.9 million in 2022. The report also laments the gaps in measles vaccinations, noting that outbreaks hit 103 countries.
Dr. Paul Thomas, a pediatrician and co-author of the upcoming book, “Vax Facts: What to Consider Before Vaccinating at All Ages & All Stages of Life,” told The Defender the the global vaccination programs continue to use the dangerous whole-cell DTP formulation instead of the less risky acellular version.
