Release from HHS: HHS will wind down its development of the mRNA vaccine development activities under the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA).

Again, they're trying to take away our vaccines.
From the head of the FDA, a gross misrepresentation of the annual process of updating a proven vaccine to target new disease strains.
His plan would make it impossible to get seasonal flu and Covid shots, and of course he knows this.
