The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Today RFK Jr, the head of the Department of Health and Human Services with no medical training or experience, has killed the projects that offer protection against the flu, COVID-19, H5N1, and new pandemics, and hold the key for defeating cancer, diabetes, and other terminal diseases by withdrawing $500 million in research funding.

Infectious disease experts say the mRNA technology used in vaccines is safe, and they credit its development during the first Trump administration with slowing the 2020 coronavirus pandemic. Future pandemics, they warned, will be harder to stop without the help of mRNA.

“I don’t think I’ve seen a more dangerous decision in public health in my 50 years in the business,” said Mike Osterholm, a University of Minnesota expert on infectious diseases and pandemic preparations.


Existing mRNA vaccines have saved millions of lives but Kennedy and Mad King Donald don't believe in science or medicine. Of course, one of them has a brain that's been eaten by a worm and the other has clear signs of dementia.
