Katalin Kariko won a Nobel prize for mRNA vax development 👇

“[RFKJr] said that everything is transparent & he relied on all of the experts…Who are those experts?…[They] should be made to stand in front of the people when the next pandemic is coming & we have nothing to respond...”

The US government has dropped a “bomb on themselves” by pulling $500 million in funding for developing mRNA vaccines, the Nobel-prize winning scientist behind the technology has warned

I developed mRNA vaccines. RFK Jr is endangering US public health

Katalin Karikó says the health secretary’s decision to pull research funding for the technology is akin to ‘dropping a bomb on the US’

“The RNA vaccines are the most tested vaccine ever. They are the safest and they’re the most effective. That’s why RNA was used around the world.”

"...any serious analysis of the data reveals recent acceleration which is overwhelmingly statistically significant. Those who claim otherwise either have not seriously analyzed the data (all of which is publicly available), or they are simply telling a lie." 👇

The US government DOE report repeats lies about sea-level rise not accelerating. But the data show acceleration: locally and globally. Reason: ice melts faster the warmer it gets. You can check this with ice cubes from your freezer. Do media ask for corrections? tamino.wordpress.com/2025/08/05/u...

U.S. Government makes old lies new again

A report from the U.S. Dept. of Energy (DOE) (an official U.S. government report) tells us that U.S. tide gauge measurements reveal no obvious acceleration beyond the historical average rate of sea…

RFK Jr cancels mRNA vax research & says US govt will study whole killed viruses that produce "natural immunity". This is dangerous nonsense.

'Kill it & inject it' was fine 100 yrs ago but now we design antigens for a precise immune response & improved safety/efficacy.

Public health experts dismayed by RFK Jr.'s defunding of mRNA vaccine research

The Trump administration canceled about $500 million for research into mRNA vaccines. The move slows progress in using the technology to prevent a future pandemic or treat disease, experts say.
