Bill Gates said in a Reuters interview that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has removed measles eradication from its list of goals because vaccine hesitancy in wealthy nations makes the goal unachievable. He attributed the shift partly to skepticism championed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., now U.S. health secretary under President Donald Trump.
“At one point, the foundation wanted to eradicate measles, but the vaccine hesitancy in rich countries has meant that's not on our list of goals. I think that's kind of tragic.”
