The US Secretary of Health withdraws $ 500 million from the financing of vaccine development

The US Department of Health and Humanitarian Services on Tuesday announced the $ 500 million cancellation and financing of projects to develop vaccines aimed at respiratory viruses such as Kovid-19 and Flu, based on the prescriptions of Minister Robert Kennedy Junior, known for his skeptical positions towards vaccinations. Kennedy said in a statement issued on Tuesday that all the projects covered by the decision, which number 22 depends on the technology of the MRNA (MRNA) technology (MRNA), and that they oversee large pharmaceutical companies such as “Pfizer” and “Moderna”, with the aim of preventing diseases such as flu, Kovid-9 and H5N1-Virus. Although the “DNA” vaccines were attributed to a major role in limiting the spread of the Corona pandemic in 2020, Kennedy pointed out that he wanted the ministry to move to “better solutions” without clearing the nature of these alternatives or techniques he considered more appropriate. This step comes in light of Kennedy’s criticism of some of its angry supporters of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to agree to use MRNA vaccines. Although the administration has limited the use of these vaccines for some healthy children, and outlined additional studies in other cases, some of Kennedy’s critics want to withdraw these vaccines from the entire market. The Ministry of Health described the move as a ‘coordinated termination’ for MRNA vaccine projects within the Bida Research and Development Authority (Barda). Kennedy said the projects canceled “failed to provide effective protection against the infection in upper breathing such as Kovid and flu.” It should be noted that the MRNA vaccines of the “Modenna” and “Pfizer” enterprises have obtained the approval of the US Food and Drug Administration to prevent the coffee-19 infection. Kennedy has indicated that financing will be aimed at other vaccine programs. The changes include canceling an ‘modern’ award to develop an vaccine against bird flu, terminate a contract with Emory University, and changes to the existing contracts with CSL -Quist. According to the statement of the ministry, the amendments also influenced agreements or proposals related to the companies “Pfizer”, Sanofi and “Astrazinica”.
