Come on AP. He slashed $500 million in funding for mRNA technology and then strung a bunch of words that sound good if you know literally nothing about vaccines, but this statement is actual science fiction and reporting it without saying this isn’t how immunity works at all is frankly dangerous.
Makes sense tho
It's gonna be the best vaccine, no one has ever done better😕
RFK Jr. is the most illiterate, incompetent example of an Department leader who makes fenceposts look smart. Dangerous, stupid, malicious.
The AP now kissing up to regain access to Trump. Pathetic and dangerous.
It's ivermectin, isn't it
I honestly think reporters are having trouble grasping the magnitude of evil involved and how It Can Happen Here. It’s hard for anyone to conceptualize killing millions for no reason because almost everyone you know wouldnt do that
As much as NPR gives me hives, this is a decent run down of some of the reasons the shift back to deactivated whole virus vaccines is such a strange choice. Especially when “side effects” are the focus of all of these horrendous disinfo campaigns.
The Trump administration has launched a $500 million project to develop a universal flu vaccine that won't need yearly updates. But vaccine experts are mystified by its focus on a dated technology.
Another dipshidiot
The tell is so huge. You do not start research with a predetermined conclusion.
I swear he got the idea from "Mission: Impossible 2"
Who has the byline here? The Anchorage culture correspondent?
Is this a reporter on the politics beat? If so, means they have no expertise in what they're talking about and exist only to transcribe what administration figures say. That's the job. These are "reporters." They are not journalists. If this is a science reporter, it's incompetence.
'universal vaccine' - sounds like god delusion
Vaccines do mimic natural immunity. That’s the whole f’ing point.
For the first time in my life I know people who are actively seeking ways to get the hell out of the USA. It is not easy however and costs a lot and many nations are not excited about us moving in. This kind of thing is pushing them away. And the lack of empathy and ethics we see today as well.
Stupid son of bitch said “One shot to rule them all” 😭😭😭
It will be chocked full of vitamins, minerals and Dr Oz’s special blend of herbs and spices with a dash of anabolic steroids thrown in for good measure.
There already is a vaccine developed by Dr. Hotez, who is not a crank, www.ama-assn.org/delivering-c...
The AMA is leading the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. See video updates on how the AMA is fighting COVID-19 with a discussion with Peter Hotez, MD, PhD, on a new COVID vaccine.
WE HAD ONE OF THESE IN DEVELOPMENT ALREADY. IT WAS mRNA BASED!! IT WOULD HAVE TARGETED HUNDREDS OF POINTS ON THE VIRUS GENOME AND EFFECTIVELY PRECENT IT FROM EVER ADAPTING TO THE VACCINE
“That mimics natural immunity”.
Motherfucker, that’s literally what a vaccine.
I’m not sure who is stupider RFK Jr or the cabinet member that doesn’t know solar and wind energy is stored in batteries.
The question also needs to be asked Who is working on the alternative vaccine? Considering the number of research facilities that have been decimated and scientists fired… who’s left?
It's not science fiction. It's fantasy.
Sounds like they will have a replacement in two weeks.
Is the Associated Press new?
Reminds me of OJ Simpson's search for the "real killer", which he carried out on golf courses and by robbing conventions in Las Vegas. RFK Jr will put exactly that level of effort into the "universal vaccine" while he tries to take away the already existent and working ones we have now. Evil.
Literally snake oil
"Natural immunity" in action:

I still find it difficult to assess--do they believe what they say? Are they murderous psychopaths? Or do they try to make America "healthy" by letting the "weak" die, with a bonus of no SS or Medicare for the dead?
It makes me feel crazy trying to ponder it.
The worst timeline.
If it's universal, it really can't provide sterilizing immunity, right? And isn't that the thing they cried about with all the covid vaccines? That they "don't prevent you from getting covid?" 🙄
This magic ingredient - both universally effective and harmless -is called "placebo".
It's the David Gregory School of journalism. It's not our job to report that this is a lie or nonsense. It's only our job to report they said it.
There is a vaccine under development for both COVID and the flu. RFKjr will probably pretend this is a step to a "universal" vaccine for all things bad.
Are they gonna call it Sputnik?
What in the theranos is he even proposing
He is a smug know-it-all, who doesn’t know squat about the havoc he’s causing. And he doesn’t care.
@apnews.com — Do better!!! Do none of your staff have any science or medical backgrounds?
My brain hurts looking at those words.
That’s RFK worm brain speak for bend over and shove a light bulb up your ass.
a proprietary mix of colloidal silver, ivermectin, AG1, and Frank's red hot sauce.
