The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has canceled millions of dollars in grants to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). AAP CEO Mark Del Monte predicted that "the sudden withdrawal of these funds will directly impact and potentially harm infants, children, youth, and their families in communities across the United States."
HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. asserted that "AAP's unquestioning endorsement of genital mutilation of children and an overly aggressive vaccination schedule for infants directly endangers the health of children. There is no good reason for public funds to be expended on the AAP's dubious agenda."
Del Monte pointed out that "we are doctors. Mr. Kennedy is not. We are the experts. He is not. It is improper that such an important medical decision should be left up to an amateur. Science should be left up to the experts. We need to find a judge to overturn Kennedy's awful decision."
“AAP CEO Mark Del Monte predicted that “the sudden withdrawal of these funds will directly impact and potentially harm infants, children, youth, and their families in communities across the United States.””
