Federal funding cuts to mRNA technology research doesn't just impact COVID vaccines — experts say it could stall progress in ...

Researchers warn that halting federal contracts for mRNA vaccine research could weaken pandemic preparedness and slow medical advances.

WASHINGTON (AP) — So-called mRNA vaccines saved millions of lives during the COVID-19 pandemic — and now scientists are using that Nobel Prize-winning technology to try to develop vaccines and ...

The move drew sharp criticism from medical and health experts. “Scrapping the fastest platform we have is a reckless move rooted in a fundamental misunderstanding of vaccinology,” wrote Jake Scott, an ...

In the video posted on X, Kennedy claimed mRNA vaccines were ineffective against mutated versions of the virus and revealed HHS is planning to reallocate the funding to research whole-virus vaccines, ...

HHS canceled federal funding for mRNA vaccine development. Experts said this could affect our preparedness for future ...

“You take the virus, grow it up, purify it and kill it with an inactivating agent. That’s a whole-killed viral vaccine,” said ...

RFK Jr. recently made major cuts to mRNA vaccine development research, questioning their safety. Should you still get the ...

This was one in a continuing line of moves that have put Kennedy's vaccine skepticism into public policy, though scientists say the vaccines are safe.

HHS' decision "could stagnate research that has the potential to save millions of lives," writes Simon Williams.

What is more, mRNA technology can, and already has, been used to create experimental universal vaccines. So the second part of Kennedy's statement is also nonsense.

An mRNA vaccine shows cells how to make a protein that initiates an immune response. The vaccine is "tricking" the body to make these proteins.
