Vaccine scientist warns of fallout after RFK Jr kills mRNA funding | LBC
Professor Robin Shattock is the Head of Mucosal Infection and Immunity at the Department of Medicine, Imperial College London. He joined James O’Brien to discuss the impact of cutting vaccine funding.
The US Department of Health and Human Services plans to cancel $500 million dollars in funding for mRNA vaccines being developed to counter viruses that cause diseases such as the flu and Covid-19.
That will impact 22 projects being led by major pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer and Moderna, for vaccines against bird flu and other viruses.
Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, a vaccine sceptic, announced he was pulling the funding over claims that “mRNA technology poses more risks than benefits for these respiratory viruses”.
