The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it.

At what point will we as medical physicians, medical schools, medical organizations take a unifying stance against Sec Kennedy repeatedly making these ridiculously, inflammatory, & inaccurate statements?

RFK Jr. just cut $500 million in federal funding for mRNA vaccine development.

Not because the vaccines failed.
Not because they’re unsafe.
But because of ideology.

Twenty-two projects - gone overnight. These weren’t fringe efforts. They included next-gen vaccines for COVID-19, influenza, RSV, and even H5N1 bird flu.

Let’s be clear: mRNA vaccines saved millions of lives during the COVID pandemic.

They don’t prevent every infection, but they do prevent severe illness and death. That’s the gold standard in real-world vaccine effectiveness.

RFK Jr. says he wants “safer” alternatives. But the scientific consensus is crystal clear: mRNA vaccines are among the safest and most effective tools in modern medicine.

Pulling support for them isn’t a safety move - it’s an anti-vaccine statement dressed in bureaucratic language.

This decision wasn’t grounded in science. It was driven by talking points from online influencers and anti-vax communities - not by the CDC, WHO, or FDA.

We’re watching political ideology override evidence-based health policy.

And the timing couldn’t be worse.

Bird flu is circulating. Pandemic risks are real. And mRNA is still our fastest route to a scalable countermeasure.

Cutting this platform means we’ll be slower, less prepared, and more vulnerable next time.

Public health leaders are sounding the alarm:

“A strategic misstep.” – Rick Bright, former BARDA director.

“A disaster for preparedness.” – Paul Offit.

“mRNA has saved lives.” – every infectious disease expert not broadcasting on Facebook Live.

This is what it looks like when science gets sidelined.

We don’t just lose funding.

We lose time.
We lose lives.
We lose the tools that protect us.

RFK Jr. isn’t making America safer. He’s dismantling the infrastructure we’ll need for the next crisis - in the name of belief over biology.

It’s not principled. It’s reckless.

Totally agree @RickABright my comments forthcoming. This is so dangerous. HHS actions both weaken American biosecurity/pandemic preparedness and seek to dismantle a technology that offers exciting promise for those with advanced pancreatic cancer or triple neg breast cancer

[Jake Scott, MD @jakescottMD]

RFK Jr. is misrepresenting a landmark Danish study that followed 1.2 million children over 24 years. The study found no link between aluminum in vaccines and autism or neurodevelopmental harm. Let’s fact-check his claims - using actual data. 🧵

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

Claims MMR vaccine causes autism

Says COVID is programmed to target certain races

Promotes raw milk

Claims the polio vaccine killed more people than it saved

Claims HPV vaccine increases rather than decreases rates of cancer

Fine for an Internet troll

NOT head of HHS

The man has been targeting me for years because I make low-cost, often patent-free vaccines for global health, 100 million doses administered so far. We provided proof-of-concept that we can bypass big pharma with a lower-cost safe model. Refs below. So much for MAHA…

Academic ironies

Are nitrate-rich vegetables dangerous because nitrate has been linked to cancer? In our new study, we show that sources of dietary nitrate are not equal.
