This is especially wild when you remember the first Trump administration was largely responsible for making mRNA vaccines and tech a global thing in the first place.

Reposted from Alex Wayne

Exclusive: NIH officials have advised scientists to remove reference to mRNA vaccines from their grant applications, in expectation the Trump administration intends to abandon most research in the field.

Hmmm... Who suffers most without vaccines? Old people, sick people, children. If they're dying, then there will be less spent on Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. Sick way to cut spending, but totally on brand for these 🤬.

Whelp, there goes the Ebola vaccine.

The MRNA technology was developed before covid. It was being developed to handle Sars types of viruses.

chuck-kirby.bsky.social•2 days ago

I'm wrong. It was developed way before Sars. Still, covid 19 was the first instance of using it.

But now we AREN'T, because funding has stopped.

The only good thing Trump did in office was Warp Speed and it's the one thing MAGAs hate about him.

imdumfounded.bsky.social•3 days ago

Warp speed was propaganda. Trump had nothing to do with the vaccines other than not standing in the way of approvals.

kevinkohler.bsky.social•2 days ago

Trump not fucking something up is as close to a success as he ever achieved. He could have fouled Warp Speed like he did every other aspect of the COVID response.

noonan66.bsky.social•3 days ago

If only we could say that about him now

All this so cunts that don’t need more money get more money. What a fucking disgrace. Almost hoping for a massive pandemic in a year, oh it’s Biden’s fault!

funnyfeminist.bsky.social•3 days ago

Not really. The technology was already in the works. The trump administration didn’t do anything more than what anyone with half a brain cell would have done. He didn’t even put out the fire he started. He just vaguely gestured toward it when the fire department showed up.

jaydeedouble.bsky.social•3 days ago

No…he wasn’t

The Pfizer vaccine, the most widely used COVID vaccine in the U.S. was made by Turkish-German scientists at Germany’s BioNTech

They had their trial candidate vaccine before Project Warp Speed was even announced

Pfizer then partnered with them to handle the trials and U.S. production

Yes, exactly. It boggles my mind that people give any credit to trump at all. He did nothing except get out of the way. Now he won't even do that.

Reminded of the time back in 1897 Indiana #246 Pi bill also known as "squaring the circle"

One of the dumbest ideas .. interpreted as a claim that
π = 4

He's criticizing his OWN trade agreements he signed in his first term, and rejecting his own science advancements achieved in his first term, and his voters are just OK with this? Then what were they ever voting for?

kiahuna.bsky.social•3 days ago

This is crazy. The fact that Shitler-The-Orange is doing this needs to be made widely known to the public.

jojofromcanada.bsky.social•3 days ago

Say bye-bye to the development of immunotherapy to fight cancer through mRNA. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

stillbystanding.bsky.social•3 days ago

Not really. The rest of the free world will carry on just fine.

jbor9401.bsky.social•3 days ago

Moderna, Pfizer and BioNTech developed their COVID-19 vaccines using mRNA technology. They presented an alternative to injecting bleach into our veins, Trump looked like the idiot he is. Next Question.

Because of Fauci et al - not Trump!

duanebw.bsky.social•3 days ago

Don't give the Trump Administration credit for something that it had no responsibility for other than branding.

mRNA vaccines were the product of scientists in the private sector, academia & the so-called "Deep State." Trump obstructed progress then was talked into action by the "Deep State"

darbyz.bsky.social•3 days ago

Agreed. Tramp didn't do anything, except freakout about the backlash to so many deaths. Did people already forget? I have the articles.

jonquick99.bsky.social•3 days ago

The spelling threw him off during the first term…
mRNA is VERY confusing concept…
“Wait- there’s a “message” in RNA? Well…what’s the message? Can I read it? Is RNA like DNA? I mean…heard of DNA…there’s a TV show about it right? So is RNA older than DNA bc R is after D in alphabet?” Stable Genius…

Today Inspiration on Respond Positively

When we face challenging situations, our initial response is often negative.

By focusing on one positive thought each day, I cultivate stability.

With constant practice, this habit helps me stay steady, even in the toughest of times

No they fucking weren't. mRNA vaccine technology was the result of decades of research & innovation. When Covid hit Moderna & Pfizer hit the ground running. The UK granted emergency authorization for Pfizer's vaccine even before the US.

kdchartrand.bsky.social•3 days ago

I fail to understand what they feel is to be gained by potentially abdicating leadership in mRNA technology research. That same research will continue in other countries whether they like it or not.

dkavanagh.bsky.social•3 days ago

FWIW, mRNA tech was 10 years in the making and was the right tool to deal with Covid when that hit. Project warp speed funded an optimized trial/approval process that more staffing could fix.

404evr.com•3 days ago

donaLd fired the dept that would've stomped that shit out abroad - so: his fault. And all that dumb bitch did was stay the fuck out the way of scientist's work - while sewing dumbass distrust of Fauci throughout. Nother fat fucking L for maga. Be careful of how u look when you try lying for donaLd.

darbyz.bsky.social•3 days ago

Wasn't mRNA technology just cited as a life-saving vaccine for pancreatic CA?

cristabel.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes it was. And my teen son was diagnosed last week with chronic pancreatitis. So this sucks doubly bad. I can’t believe how much we’re abandoning… for what?

fineartz.bsky.social•2 days ago

This is crazy. Trump should just take the credit for all they do and then he can say he cured this and that. Someone needs to stroke that ego to get what we need.

twinklebutt.bsky.social•2 days ago

No. He really wasn't. There's a bigger world out here beyond the Florida/California coasts.

Hard to understand what's going on with the Trump administration. We're abandoning scientific research and it's being replaced by what? Kennedy's conspiracy theories

I hate this so much.

karen81563345.bsky.social•3 days ago

mRNA was being researched before Covid. It happened to be available as a life saving vaccine. The research did not stop there.
The Trump administration has shut them down.

darbyz.bsky.social•3 days ago

mRNA technology was already being used successfully in cancer pts b4 Covid.

sunny72.bsky.social•2 days ago

And just when we find out it has led to mRNA vaccines for cancer. In trumps first term, he gloated about finding the cure for cancer. More proof he has ZERO interest in actually helping people.
