Summary

Scientists fear the Trump administration is undermining mRNA technology, citing informal reports of NIH data collection on mRNA funding and concerns that grants may be cut.

Acting NIH Director Matthew Memoli initiated a review of 130 mRNA-related grants, raising alarm among researchers. The administration also reviewed a $600 million Moderna contract for flu vaccines.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and potential NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya have questioned mRNA vaccines, fueling skepticism.

Experts warn that politicizing mRNA research could hinder medical advances and pandemic preparedness.

That research will just move to Canada or Europe. Or China.

Will it, though? Just because you get more scientists (if they leave the US at all), doesn't mean you get more funding or facilities.

The objective is to kill Americans, which makes sense when you consider who his boss is.
