The Department of Health and Human Services has canceled seven federal grants that supported programs aimed at reducing sudden infant deaths, prenatal substance exposure, birth defects and adolescent mental health problems, after the grants' recipient repeatedly criticized federal vaccine policy. The grants had been awarded to the American Academy of Pediatrics, a professional association that has been a fierce critic of Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The academy took issue with Mr. Kennedy's efforts to fire the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for disagreements over vaccine policies and his decision to dismiss all 17 members of an influential advisory panel on immunization to overhaul the U.S. vaccination policy. Mr. Kennedy later installed members who shared his vaccine skepticism.

The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has canceled millions of dollars in grants awarded to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the department said on Dec. 17, hours after the academy appeared in court to challenge the agency in a lawsuit. "These grants, previously awarded to the American Academy of Pediatrics, were canceled along with a number of other grants to other organizations because they no longer align with the Department's mission or priorities," HHS spokesman Andrew Nixon told The Epoch Times in an email. When asked for more details, Nixon pointed to several webpages outlining priorities. One, an HHS page, lists a variety of goals, including furthering understanding of autism and supporting services for people with serious mental illness.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has canceled millions of dollars in grants awarded to the American Academy of Pediatrics, it said on Wednesday, including ones the group said were aimed at reducing sudden infant death and early detection of autism. The move comes as the AAP, a vocal critic of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., challenged vaccine policies enacted under his leadership in federal court. Kennedy, a longtime critic of vaccines, has accused the organization of accepting funding from drug and vaccine makers to further their interests.
