What Secretary Kennedy did is that he ordered that BARDA, which is an agency in HHS, Health and Human Services, cancel a whole bunch of contracts for the mRNA platform for mass production, essentially of mRNA vaccines. The reason that he did that, and I think it's very important for people to understand, is that as far as public health goes, the mRNA platform, as far as public health goes for vaccines, the mRNA platform is no longer viable. If you look at the uptake of the recent COVID vaccines in kids, for instance, it's less than 5% of kids under five, I think, have taken it. Less than 15% of kids between 5 and 12. Overall, less than a quarter of people have taken it despite the fact that there has been relentless propaganda and pressure to take the COVID vaccines, the mRNA COVID vaccines, forever, for a very long time dating from the Biden Administration. And so you can't have a platform where such a large fraction of the population distrust the platform if you're going to use it for vaccines and expect it to work. And what you're seeing with Colbert and those insane clips that you just played for me is frustration because they are no longer getting their way. They no longer control sort of the cultural high ground where they can essentially bully people to take a product that people don't want. When people have lost trust in a product or technology like that, the only way forward is to be honest with people about what you know, what you don't know, and then give excellent evidence. Reason with people. This kind of mocking and bullying has no place in Public Health. Colbert has done tremendous damage to Public Health I think for several years now with this relentless propaganda and then now bullying. It's very unfortunate.
