President Donald Trump’s former surgeon general is warning that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s decision to cancel half a billion dollars in vaccine projects will “cost lives.”
Jerome Adams, who served under Trump during his first term, called vaccine-skeptic Kennedy’s move to terminate federal contracts for the development of 22 mRNA vaccines “dangerous” in a post on X.
I’ve tried to be objective & non-alarmist in response to current HHS actions – but quite frankly this move is going to cost lives. mRNA technology has uses that go far beyond vaccines… and the vaccine they helped develop in record time is credited with saving millions. 🤯 https://t.co/xUntdhoJJK
