Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.
Release from HHS: HHS will wind down its development of the mRNA vaccine development activities under the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).

Many of these nursing home patients will end up in the hospital. We will be overwhelmed. Hospitals will not be able to discharge patients. There will be a bed shortage. This bill will affect everyone who needs medical care for anything.

And Senator, guess who will be saddled with that care when this happens? Because it WILL happen. And women will be forced to choose between working and taking care of loved ones. Either spend all your money on care, or you quit and do it yourself.
And no one can afford private care except the 1%!

"The anti‑vax movement, once seen as confined to the U.S., is now spreading globally." An excellent, if sobering, piece from Rivka Galchen.
A recent study devised forecasts for the next 25 years if vaccination rates decline by various rates. A ten-per-cent drop in measles vaccination, for example, would lead to some 11 million additional cases.
Calculating the Damage of Vaccine Skepticism
It’s clear that we’re on the precipice of a surge in preventable diseases. But how bad will it get?
