If someone with a medical complication is not starving and you cut off all food for several months so then they're starving the medical complication is not the relevant variable. This is not complex to grasp intellectually or morally.

This is a travesty and a nightmare. The US was a founder of @Gavi. It lowers vaccine costs for the world, has vaccinated 1B children, and averted 19M deaths. This pull out will cost 100s of thousands of children's lives a year -- and RFK Jr will be personally responsible.
