The Trump Administration has cancelled the $766 million contract with Moderna to develop an mRNA “vaccine” for an influenza plandemic. This cancellation will include ceasing research on a bird flu “vaccine” as well.
The funds were awarded through the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, or BARDA, a program that focuses on medical treatments for potential pandemics. Wednesday, Moderna announced that the contract with Health and Human Services had withdrawn funding awarded in July 2024 and in January to pay for the development and purchase of its investigational/experimental influenza vaccine.
“While the termination of funding from HHS adds uncertainty, we are pleased by the robust immune response and safety profile observed in this interim analysis,” the company said in a statement about the newly created “vaccine.”
H5N1 bird flu viruses spilled from wild birds into cattle in the U.S. last year, infecting hundreds of animals in several states. At least 70 people in the U.S. have been sickened by bird flu infections, mostly mild. One person died. Scientists fear that continued mutation of the virus could allow it to become more virulent or more easily spread in people, with the possibility that it could trigger a pandemic. –KSTP5, an ABC News affiliate.
Moderna has already taken possession of the funding. The company received $176 million in July 2024 and $590 million in January of this year. The January award would have supported a late-stage clinical trial that could have determined the vaccine’s efficacy against pandemic viruses, including bird flu, a company spokesman said.
This news comes as Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has expressed deep skepticism regarding mRNA vaccines. While there is some evidence that the vaccines are safe and have saved millions of lives, there is also evidence that they are harmful and don’t prevent transmission or infection. Regardless of the stance one takes, they should always be voluntary only, never forced, and people should give full consent by knowing all possible outcomes before being injected.
