'Unforgivable': Shocked experts warn RFK just condemned millions to 'death and illness'
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. announced the termination of nearly $500 million in federal funding and contracts supporting the development of mRNA-based vaccines.
HHS said it would coordinate a wind-down of its mRNA vaccine development activities under the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, or BARDA.
“We reviewed the science, listened to the experts, and acted,” said Kennedy. “BARDA is terminating 22 mRNA vaccine development investments because the data show these vaccines fail to protect effectively against upper respiratory infections like COVID and flu. We’re shifting that funding toward safer, broader vaccine platforms that remain effective even as viruses mutate.”
Jake Scott, an infection diseases doctor, wrote on Bluesky, "Scrapping the fastest platform we have is a reckless move rooted in a fundamental misunderstanding of vaccinology. No respiratory vaccine blocks all infections. mRNA vaccines have saved millions of lives.
Scott pointed to a CDC study that showed vaccinated adults during the 2021 Delta surge were 53 times less likely to die than those who were unvaccinated.
Audrey John, also an infectious diseases physician, wrote on Bluesky, "To say that 'the data show these vaccines fail' in regards to the mRNA plaform is unforgivable. For those of you that don't remember - this is the data from a SINGLE dose. In December 2020. So good I cried in grateful tears."
Helen Branswell, who covers infectious diseases for STAT, wrote on Bluesky, "Pandemic preparedness in the US has been leveled a crippling blow with the cancellation of multiple #BARDA contracts to help develop mRNA vaccines. No other vaccine platform produces vaccine so quickly; without mRNA, Americans will have a long wait for pandemic vax."
Writer Rebecca Fishbein wrote on Bluesky, "I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away."

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
