During his first term, Donald Trump touted “Medical Miracle” MRNA Covid-19 vaccine, which he helped to provide markets with unprecedented public-private partnerships Operation twist speed.
During its second term, the Trump administration dismantled its signature health achievements in its first term by promoting the safety and effectiveness of the Covid-19 vaccine. The president is taking steps to make it harder for the public to access vaccines and to enable pharmaceutical companies to bring new mRNA vaccines to market.
Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Critics and Skeptics Years of vaccines, linking them to autism and other diseases, have no scientific evidence.
Now, Kennedy is canceling grants to develop more mRNA vaccines, Exploring is also Used for the treatment of influenza, HIV and cancer.
he Turn on fire The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s COVID-19 Immunization Task Force, all 17 members of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practice (ACIP), and replaced them with vaccine skeptics. he delete The Covid-19-19 vaccine is from a list of recommended photos for healthy pregnant women and children, which means insurance companies may no longer pay for it. Daily Beast Report The Trump administration is planning to pull the vaccine out of the shelves “within months” and use Kennedy’s close assistant.
Today, I explained Co-host Sean Ramewaram and Katherine Wuan Atlantic staff writer, what this means for Americans to have the ability to accept Covid-19.
Below are excerpts of their conversation for detailed description and clarity. There are more in the full podcast, so listen Today, I explained Wherever you get podcasts, including Apple Podcast,,,,, Pandoraand Spotify.
Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is now using mRNA vaccines?
The latest biggest news may be him Cancel A billion-dollar grant to develop more mRNA vaccines. What the public may be most familiar with is the public’s mRNA vaccine in the case of vaccines. This is the first place we have successfully obtained mRNA vaccines, which is still where mRNA vaccines dominate the market, but They’ve been developing For other diseases, it is not only infectious diseases, but for a long time. So it’s a huge deal.
Remind me, who was the president when the common mRNA vaccine was developed?
Trump is also In his first semester,That’s not it.
Oh, it’s strange. So far, how has President Trump improved his campaign to vaccinate and protect American mRNA vaccines?
He didn’t. In the first semester, Trump is Help push Action twisting speed is a large partnership between government and pharmaceutical companies that has allowed us to provide us with all these amazing shared vaccines in record time and helped us beat this pandemic that killed many people. So far, this shining beacon of Trump’s first semester is systematically ripping apart. We have already talked about how the Trump administration is funding the development of more mRNA vaccines. You might think we want to base it on this. not much. But they also began to deprive Americans of their use of common vaccines. They have Delete or change suggestions Get a common vaccine in some groups. They make it harder for vaccine manufacturers to obtain New Covid vaccine Marketing, many new employees and consultants from the Department of Health and Human Services are targeting other Covid vaccine recommendations Restrict access farther. I think it’s very realistic that even in the case of need and need, few people will be able to get a co-vaccine within a year or two.
When the vaccine comes out we are all there, I believe the president is Among the first one to get them. They are touted as a miracle of medicine. How to rewrite this narrative now?
Yes, it’s fun, right? Trump himself uses this phrase, Medical Miracle. There is no scientific reason, he should stop believing this. Data for these vaccines have not changed. them Very safe,,,,, Very effective. They browse all the normal channels of review to make us safe, effective and effective vaccines. But currently in his second term, Trump has led a major Release information These vaccines are suspicious. They don’t work. And to a large extent, the entire system is corrupt. All those who recommend these vaccines have conflicts of interest, they are in the pocket of the industry, and basically the government is working to limit the use of these vaccines, so they are not hurting Americans as much as possible. He said they are not against respiratory viruses, which is incorrect.
Research shows they Saved millions of lives During the pandemic, they continue to protect people who accept them. They are the deadliest vaccines ever, he said. have No evidence Support this. They did the opposite. He studied them thoroughly and carefully studied the ideas of expert scientists, who conducted a thorough study of their safety signals. None of these is supported by evidence, but this is basically what the federal government is saying now.
These vaccines quickly became famous. I mean, this is part of the miracles we are referring to here, and these miracles seem to stimulate many of these conspiracy theories about their efficacy. Is there any argument for validity that they are produced too quickly and not enough to test?
I think the way your question is important, right? Because it’s “too fast,” they arrive so quickly that there isn’t enough time to study them, make sure they work well to prevent Covid and that the way they do it doesn’t pose an inappropriate risk to those who accept them? And I think the answer is very good. It is important to realize that all of this is done on the shoulders of all vaccine science. Scientists know what to look for. They know how to perform these experiments. They know how to scale their technology. Yes, they did An unprecedented waybut not unprecedented in the way they shoot in the dark.
So what will happen now? You mean, you can see a future where even those who want and need these vaccines cannot get them. How far is that?
I think there are still enough people in the federal health agency fight back Against this, it could be a very delayed battle. Getting rid of these vaccines can also be in trouble Legal Challenges Soon, I think this is where many departments of the government are starting to move.
The distortion speed operation obviously played a huge role in developing these vaccines, but Not just the efforts of the United States anyway. If the United States is now falling down and denying that it is a medical miracle, what are the rest of the world doing? Does this mean you can fly to Canada to get your shared vaccine, or even get it?
People, black market international vaccine. It’s really a world. Yes, that’s a good question and I think there are a few things to be involved here. One of them is that cutting off funds for mRNA vaccine development here can cut off resources from other parts of the world. The United States has been very strong in scientific firepower, money and until recently foreign aid. If we stop developing vaccines here, it means that other countries have fewer resources. If the United States says: These vaccines are nonsense, they are not worth investing, they are not worth recommending, and are not good enough for our people. Other countries have Traditionally prompt From the United States, especially around the vaccine. Other countries might look at what we are doing and stop, like, we don’t want to look weird. When the United States does this, we don’t want to be outliers.
But are we outliers now? It feels like we are outliers.
We are totally, I want other countries to look at us and then look at Britain and then like OK, maybe we start to focus on the UK. But it’s tricky because in the landscape where these vaccines become scarce and more expensive, because the United States is not Dump resources To develop them, these vaccines simply do not exist or may be worse than the United States dumping these resources. The United States also said, “this is not good enough.” For other countries, it is an economic, almost a political decision to suspend more.
President Trump has Wear a hat That said: “Trump is right for everything.” This is a man who loves victory, who received the mRNA vaccine for Covid-19 in 2020. Why do you think he won’t win?
I suspect some of them can be traced back to what happened at the end of his term and what happened during the subsequent presidency. The end of Trump’s first term was ruined by the beginning of the pandemic. He was widely criticized for making things as bad as it was in the early days of the United States. Even though he helped push the vaccine, that didn’t completely cover up all other policies that have caused much of the terror of 2020 and 2021 in this country. The pandemic could have been better here if there were better coordination of public health responses and better communication. I think many of Trump’s bases are angry about it, they are angry Early pandemic policy. They feel betrayed by the administration, and I think that has worsened Trump’s foundation on everything, including vaccines.
