HHS Winds Down mRNA Vaccine Development Under BARDA (www.hhs.gov)

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) today announced the beginning of a coordinated wind-down of its mRNA vaccine development activities under the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), including the cancellation and de-scoping of various contracts and solicitations. The decision follows a comprehensive review of mRNA-related investments initiated during the COVID-19 public health emergency.

“We reviewed the science, listened to the experts, and acted,” said HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. “BARDA is terminating 22 mRNA vaccine development investments because the data show these vaccines fail to protect effectively against upper respiratory infections like COVID and flu. We’re shifting that funding toward safer, broader vaccine platforms that remain effective even as viruses mutate.”

These fascists believe in eugenics and that the "weak" deserve to die. They also often believe in some idiotic notion of God's will to save only the chosen few (namely, themselves). And they believe that science is messing with God's natural order of things. Using science to help everyone to live is just not something they're interested in.
