This is devastating and, of course, not at all based in science. mRNA vaccines have the potential to give us vaccines for diseases that had previously been impossible with existing vaccine development methods. The Trump Administration and RFK Jr are deciding that the United States is going to rely on importing foreign-made vaccines in the future when we no longer have the knowledge to make the best vaccines in the world.

You're assuming they want vaccines in the United States at all, regardless of manufacture location.
Even just recently we've heard about amazing results from mRNA vaccines for HIV and some kinds of cancer. Meanwhile bird flu continues to threaten a pandemic that could be much worse than the last one. So the fascists try to stop it. They hate that science can be authoritative in ways they can never be.
So kneecapping one of the most promising fields in the pharmaceutical industry domestically?
Another weird open goal for some European companies then
Is it just his accent and he's been saying MEGA the whole time?
US has done it before. Stem cell research has been held back in the US even before it could PROVE that it was effective. Here, mRNA PROVED it worked and we're undoing it. This is worse than ignorance. It's down right maliciously negligent. Once again all because of their beliefs that science is wrong.
They are mad that mRNA worked on COVID, which made the 'it isn't worse than the flu derp a derp' crowd mad.
They want to destroy anything that might show they were wrong.
literally killing people, RatFucKjr.
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.
How America collapsed:
Fucking worm brain and no brain together fucking things up like bully toddlers.
