Why US federal health agencies are abandoning mRNA vaccines
1 min read
Summary
In 2020, mRNA vaccines were created to fight Covid, with billions administered worldwide - saving millions of lives.
However, someContinuing that success will rest on whether governments and the public trust the technology as a medical tool.
The US government has turned its back on mRNA tech, with its present head of the Department of Health and Human Services, notorious anti-vaccine activist Robert F Kennedy Jr, who is winding down funding for mRNA vaccine development and retracting already-allocated funds.
Furthermore, the current director of the National Institutes of Health, Jay Bhattacharya, who also has a questionable past with COVID-19 measures and vaccine mandates, has publicly stated that the Biden Administration did not manage public trust regarding coronavirus vaccines.
