The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is canceling funding for research into vaccine hesitancy.
“It is the policy of NIH not to prioritize research activities that focuses gaining scientific knowledge on why individuals are hesitant to be vaccinated and/or explore ways to improve vaccine interest and commitment,” says an internal NIH email obtained by Science and The Washington Post.
