Moderna takes swipe at Trump as it opens new UK factory
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground."
"Though Moderna's plan to open the first mRNA manufacturing plant in the UK was in place before Mr Trump's second presidential term began, its chief executive Stephane Bancel made a point of telling Sky News that the company was opening the factory in a country that still believes in vaccination. He told the broadcaster that if anti-vaccine rhetoric impacts demand in the US, the UK operation may pay dividends."
The Independent operates without paywalls and seeks donations to fund journalists to report on developing stories across issues including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech. Donations support sending reporters to interview multiple perspectives and investigate topics such as political PAC finance and documentary production. Moderna is opening an mRNA manufacturing plant in Oxfordshire, with its chief executive praising the UK’s continued belief in vaccination. The move was set before the current US presidential term but may insulate Moderna from rising vaccine skepticism in the US. The executive warned that decreased global appetite for vaccines could lead to reduced investment in vaccine development.
