The Department of Health and Human Services announced the cancellation of nearly half a billion dollars in mRNA vaccine contracts, including those related to trials at Emory University and Gritstone. This decision comes amid widespread expert criticism, stating that the concerns leading to these cancellations are unfounded. mRNA vaccines, such as those by Moderna and Pfizer, are widely regarded as effective against COVID-19. They generate an immune response by creating a virus fragment, making them instrumental in combating evolving illnesses and pandemics.
"Vaccinations that use mRNA technology, like the Moderna and Pfizer shots, protect people by generating a fragment of the virus to initiate an immune response in the body."
"They’re considered to be one of the best tools scientists have against fast-moving and changing illnesses like those that cause pandemics because they can be created and tested more quickly than older 'whole-virus' inoculations."
