Despite RFK’s funding block, mRNA vaccines are too impressive to ignore
The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has announced the cancellation of $500 million in funding for mRNA vaccine research, including a contract with Moderna for a bird flu vaccine. This decision by Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s health department has left scientists concerned, as they fear it may increase vaccine hesitancy and make the world less safe. Despite the funding block, experts believe that mRNA vaccines have proven to be an impressive and important technology that should not be ignored. While the decision may impact US-based research, other countries are still willing to invest in this area, suggesting that the development of mRNA vaccines will continue globally. The article emphasizes that the scientific community remains committed to exploring the potential of this technology, even in the face of this setback.
