The imbecile has now cancelled $500 million in mRNA vaccine development contracts:
The new cancellations dismayed scientists, many of whom regard mRNA shots as the best option for protecting Americans in a pandemic….
Unlike traditional vaccines, which can take years to develop and test, mRNA shots can be made within months and quickly altered as the virus changes. The technology won a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2023.
But it has long been distrusted by vaccine skeptics [i.e., morons], and Mr. Kennedy has been sharply critical, once calling Covid shots “the deadliest vaccine ever made.”
In a video posted on social media on Tuesday, he claimed falsely that mRNA vaccines do not protect against respiratory illnesses like Covid and the flu, and that a single mutation in a virus renders the vaccine ineffective.
“As the pandemic showed us, mRNA vaccines don’t perform well against viruses that infect the upper respiratory tract,” he said in the video….
“Had we not used these lifesaving mRNA vaccines to protect against severe illness, we would have had millions of more Covid deaths,” she said….
By cutting off mRNA development, the health department is “undermining our ability to rapidly counter future biological threats,” said Rick Bright, a flu expert who was ousted as chief of BARDA during the first Trump administration and resigned from a lesser position in protest.
“We’re weakening our frontline defense against fast‑moving pathogens — a huge strategic failure that will be measured in lives lost during times of crisis,” he added.
It is tempting to muse that we were just one heroin overdose away from being spared the damage this imbecile is doing, but knowing Trump, he is just as likely to have found someone comparably incompetent to be Secretary of HHS.
