Health experts, including some former Trump officials, are raising the alarm over the administration’s decision to pull nearly $500 million in funding for mRNA-based vaccine projects.
“I’ve tried to be objective & non-alarmist in response to current [Department of Health and Human Services] actions – but quite frankly this move is going to cost lives,” Jerome Adams, who served as Surgeon General during the first Trump administration, wrote on X. “mRNA technology has uses that go far beyond vaccines… and the vaccine they helped develop in record time is credited with saving millions.”
