The Truth about RFK Jr

NPR reported, ""The deleterious impact is not only in the contracts that they're canceling, but they're trying to make the case to the public that mRNA technology doesn't work very well and it's unsafe," [Vaccine expert Peter] Hotez says. "And that's absolutely untrue.""

Worth noting in the context that Hotez is one of the creators of Novavax, the alternative to the mRNA vaccines against COVID-19.
 
The HHS statement read in part, "Termination of contracts with Emory University and Tiba Biotech...Other uses of mRNA technology within the department are not impacted by this announcement." Yet Fierce Biotech reported, "When Tiba Biotech was included in the cancellation of $500 million worth of grants funding mRNA vaccine development, the company was shocked. That’s because Tiba’s project doesn’t use mRNA and is not a vaccine...“The BARDA contract is to develop a lung-targeted treatment for influenza infection using RNA interference (RNAi), a therapeutic modality that has been successful in the clinic since the first FDA-approved RNAi product in 2018,” Tiba said in a statement to Fierce Biotech. “Tiba's project has been successful in its aims so far and was near completion, with only three months remaining in the contracted work plan...”RNAi instead uses two different kinds of RNA molecules, microRNA (miRNA) and small interfering RNA (siRNA), which help regulate gene expression in cells."

Based in this essay at Yale Medicine, the Novavax vaccine uses a protein subunit, not messenger RNA.

In fact, Hotez is one of the creators of Corbevax, which is similar in that it uses a protein subunit rather than mRNA, BUT it is not the same as Novavax.

In fact, Hotez specifically wanted to create a vaccine that he did not want to patent so that it could be used by developing countries.
 
Brennan: Secretary Kennedy said mrna vaccines “don't work against upper respiratory infections.” Jerome Adams: That's simply not true. We know that by the most conservative estimates over 2 million lives have been saved because of mrna technology. It helped us develop covid vaccines in record time. It's President Trump’s greatest achievement. It's fascinating to me in this conversation about whether he should receive the Nobel prize—the thing he should be considered for the Nobel prize for, his health secretary is trying to undermine.

Yes, of course they do! Sigh!

Turns out MAGA trust RFK Jr more than their doctor to provide vaccine information
This is a crushing failure of science communication
And a massive victory for the pseudoscientific quacks
A whole chunk of the US population has been successfully conned

You're right.
I don't know why I associated Peter Hotez with Novavax. Maybe because both his vaccine and Novavax non-mRNA vaccines, which was the point I was trying to make:
In spite of being the creator of a non-mRNA alternative to Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, Hotez stood up for the mRNA technology.
 
They have been heading in that direction for a long time, but how it's official:

Politicians decide what is good science!
Every accusation was a confession of what they wanted to do if they were to attain power (Science-Based Medicine, Aug 11, 2025)
On Friday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order that would shift power over grantmaking away from career scientists to political appointees. Lysenkoism 2.0 has been made official policy, and science in the US is in deep trouble.

Jess Steier and coauthors at Unbiased Science wrote, "Health Secretary RFK Jr. has launched a blistering attack on a Danish study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine that found no link between aluminum in vaccines and 50 different health conditions, including autism. He’s even gone so far as to call for the publication’s retraction–a step that the well-respected medical journal has made clear it will not take. His critique, which he claims reveals a "devastating indictment" of aluminum-containing vaccines, fundamentally misrepresents both the study's methods and its findings. Let's walk through what the science shows, and why Kennedy's interpretation doesn't hold water."

MedPageToday reported, ""Aluminum salts in the extremely small amounts present in some childhood vaccines are not associated with increased risk of 50 health conditions in early childhood," co-author Anders Hviid, MSc, DrMedSci, told MedPage Today after the paper was published. "Our results, based on 1.2 million Danish children and a study period covering 24 years, provide robust evidence supporting the safety of childhood vaccines.""

My wife asked me yesterday if Australia could develop and manufacture their own vaccines. I said it could, but it could not possibly compete with the US research powerhouse. I will have to review that response as that powerhouse is being torn down by ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ idiots.
