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.

Speaking hours later Tuesday at a news conference in Anchorage, Alaska, alongside the state's two Republican U.S. senators, Kennedy said work is underway on an alternative. He said a "universal vaccine" that mimics "natural immunity" is the administration's focus. "It could be effective — we believe it's going to be effective - against not only coronaviruses, but also flu," he said.

    Not necessarily a bad goal -- but it looks to me like he's using it as an excuse to take away the existing vaccines. Should seat belts have been required to be removed from cars until air bags were perfected and installed? 1/2
