It's not clear if the CDC will use the $1.6 million it reportedly took from global health funds to roll out the vaccine to all newborns in Guinea-Bissau. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...

My bet is on the money “disappearing” — just like so many other canceled funds. Hopefully Guinea-Bissau can deploy the confiscated vaccines without US “help.”

The government of Guinea-Bissau now has control of the vaccines meant for the trial, after searching the Danish researchers' offices on Monday. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/o...
