Trump and RFK Jr. may have just killed millions. As immunologists continue to track and warn about the evolution of the H5N1 bird flu virus, the Trump administration just cancelled a $600 million contract to prepare vaccines for a future pandemic.

HHS cancels $766 million in Moderna contracts for vaccines for flu pandemics

HHS has notified Moderna that it is canceling a nearly $600 million contract for vaccines for flu strains that could trigger future pandemics.

STAT
@augieray Of course they did. The inept Trump certainly fumbled early on in Covid as well. In his first reign.
@SherBeareth @augieray
And nobody said a thing about that. Well, nobody who was anybody, anyway

@Hedgewizard @augieray

They were too busy gulping Clorox and burning face masks.

@SherBeareth @augieray this isn't a fumble. Killing millions is the goal, not the result of an error

@augieray I thought there already was one.

Edit: Ah, I see it's the speed of production that's appealing and they'd also prep for other flu variants.

@augieray How is he able to decide this for American people?

@augieray

Now do you understand why the whole #antivax movement started with the fascists?

THE OLIGARCHS WANT YOU DEAD!

@augieray A little Hitler-envy on his part.
@augieray Yep makes sense to them. But then i consider them to be the dull knife in the drawer anyway.
