The US Department of Health and Human Services has announced a cancellation of $500 million in funding for mRNA vaccines, terminating 22 federal contracts including one with Moderna. Robert F Kennedy Jr stated that the funding will be redirected towards safer vaccine platforms. He claimed that mRNA vaccines are ineffective against upper respiratory infections and contribute to vaccine skepticism. However, scientists argue that mRNA vaccines have saved millions of lives and refute claims about increased mutation rates in viruses. There is no scientific evidence supporting Kennedy's assertions regarding these vaccines.
