mRNA Vaccines: A Breakthrough Technology
mRNA vaccines have saved millions of lives during the COVID-19 pandemic, leveraging Nobel Prize-winning technology to combat the disease.
Scientists are now utilizing this technology to develop vaccines and treatments for various diseases, including cancer and cystic fibrosis.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime vaccine critic, canceled $500 million in government-funded research projects to create new mRNA vaccines against respiratory illnesses.
Infectious disease experts express dismay over this decision, noting that mRNA allows for faster production of shots than older methods, providing precious time in the event of another pandemic.
