Comment on HHS Winds Down mRNA Vaccine Development Under BARDA

This is devastating and, of course, not at all based in science. mRNA vaccines have the potential to give us vaccines for diseases that had previously been impossible with existing vaccine development methods. The Trump Administration and RFK Jr are deciding that the United States is going to rely on importing foreign-made vaccines in the future when we no longer have the knowledge to make the best vaccines in the world.

Even just recently we’ve heard about amazing results from mRNA vaccines for HIV and some kinds of cancer. Meanwhile bird flu continues to threaten a pandemic that could be much worse than the last one. So the fascists try to stop it. They hate that science can be authoritative in ways they can never be.
