Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has decided to halt 22 vaccine projects worth $500 million that were focused on mRNA technology. This decision reflects his long-standing skepticism about vaccines and has led him to revoke Covid-19 jab recommendations and terminate the vaccine advisory panel. The health secretary criticized mRNA vaccines, opting to prioritize safer vaccine development strategies, including whole-virus vaccines. Experts in infectious diseases disagree with this decision, emphasizing that mRNA technology is safe and crucial for rapid vaccine production, which is essential for future pandemics.
To replace the troubled mRNA programs, we're prioritising the development of safer, broader vaccine strategies, like whole-virus vaccines and novel platforms that don't collapse when viruses mutate.
I don't think I've seen a more dangerous decision in public health in my 50 years in the business.
It's certainly saved millions of lives.
Future pandemics will be harder to stop without the help of mRNA.
