RFK Jr. Slashes Vaccine Cash, Pandemics Say ‘Thanks!’
Oh, I'm sorry, did I miss the part where cutting $500 million from mRNA vaccine projects helps pandemic prep? Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., no stranger to calling Covid vaccines 'the deadliest vaccine ever made,' just pulled the plug on 22 projects aimed at fighting respiratory viruses, including bird flu. So let me get this straight: the same tech that saved an estimated 2.5 million lives now faces budget slashes because 'mRNA vaccines don’t perform well'—a claim experts debunk? Prep for the inevitable next pandemic? Apparently, not on his watch.

Cutting vaccine funding because mRNA ‘doesn’t perform well’? That’s like banning fire trucks after a wildfire because they got a little smoke on their boots. Genius public health strategy, folks. 👏🔥
Slashing mRNA funding in 2024? That’s like deciding to ditch seat belts because airbags exist. Sure, pandemics are coming, but hey, let’s roll the dice with millions of lives!
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just treated vaccine development like a bad Tinder date — swipe left on science, swipe right on catastrophe. Pandemic prep looks mighty thin now.
