"WASHINGTON (AP) — The Department of Health and Human Services will cancel
contracts and pull funding for some vaccines that are being developed to fight
respiratory viruses like COVID-19 and the flu.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary and a longtime vaccine critic,
announced in a statement Tuesday that $500 million worth of vaccine development
projects, all using mRNA technology, will be halted.
The projects — 22 of them — are being led by some of the nation’s leading
pharmaceutical companies like Pfizer and Moderna to prevent flu, COVID-19 and
H5N1 infections.
The mRNA vaccines are credited with slowing the 2020 coronavirus pandemic.
Kennedy said in the Tuesday statement that he wants the health department to
move away from mRNA vaccines, calling on the department to start “investing in
better solutions.” He provided no details on what those technologies might be."

"Those mRNA vaccine programs that RFK Jr. is killing because he claims they
don't work? The people who invented them got the f*ing Nobel Prize. And
they've saved literally millions of lives already."
