Thou Shall Not Criticize RFK Jr.

They broke Kennedy's commandment... Thou shall not criticize the appointed one! So he cut the grants to AAP because they contradicted him! Funding for:

• Reducing sudden infant deaths... Cut!
• Improving adolescent health... Cut!
• Preventing fetal alcohol syndrome... Cut!
• Identifying autism early... Cut!

Why? Because they dared to challenge the leader!

HHS cuts millions in grants to the American Academy of Pediatrics

The move is an escalation in the agency’s clash with the medical group, which is suing Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over vaccine policy.

The Department of Health and Human Services has terminated seven grants totaling millions of dollars to the American Academy of Pediatrics, escalating its confrontation with the group, which is suing Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over vaccine policy.

The grants supported initiatives aimed at reducing sudden infant deaths, improving teen and young adult health, preventing birth defects, such as fetal alcohol syndrome, and identifying autism early, according to an academy spokesperson.

You know this guy lives in his own little "Neverland" world!

In an emailed statement, Andrew Nixon, an HHS spokesperson, said the grants “were canceled along with a number of other grants to other organizations because they no longer align with the Department’s mission or priorities.”

When NBC News asked about the agency’s priorities, Nixon responded by sending links to “about” pages on websites of HHS, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Health Resources and Services Administration.

Mark Del Monte, the academy’s CEO and executive vice president, said the group learned this week that the grants had been terminated and was now exploring “all available options, including legal recourse.”

“The Academy is proud of this work, and of the staff, pediatricians, and partners who were engaged in these important programs,” he said in a statement. “The sudden withdrawal of these funds will directly impact and potentially harm infants, children, youth, and their families in communities across the United States.”

Hey just because we are HHS you think that care about people? Nurse.org wrote...

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has cancelled millions of dollars in grants to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) without warning, a decision that could have significant implications for pediatric healthcare delivery nationwide.

On December 17, 2025, HHS under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. terminated seven grants supporting critical pediatric programs, citing a misalignment with "the Department's mission or priorities," according to an HHS spokesperson. 

The Guardian has reported that the HHS pointed to "identity-based language" as part of the issues the organization found with the AAP, including references to racial disparities and using the gender-neutral term "pregnant people." 

HOW DARE THEY USE  "Pregnant People."!!!!

We're cutting millions from them because they used  "pregnant people." and pro-trans healthcare! For that we make everyone in the U.S. suffer!

Reuters reported that,

"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," an HHS spokesperson said.

It’s clear: these programs are no longer "in alignment" with the administration's pogrom against us. Trump has issued a decree that there are only two genders, and his minions are kowtowing and lick his boots while we get the shaft.

But it wasn't just us that pissed off RFK Jr. but also about Kennedy’s personal grievances;

The AAP has received $18.4 million in federal funding from HHS in 2025, according to government records. The newly canceled grants had been communicated to the organization earlier this week, according to Del Monte.

The AAP broke with federal policy in August when it recommended that all young children get vaccinated against COVID-19, diverging from the CDC. It condemned Kennedy when he fired the CDC's independent panel of vaccine experts in June.

In October, it said it does not recommend the routine use of leucovorin - a form of vitamin B9 - in children with autism, citing a lack of evidence on the treatment's benefits and risks to support widespread use in this population. Kennedy touted the decades-old drug in September at a White House event.

The AAP response will be "We'll see you in court!"
