Remember when RFK claimed single antigen vaccines don’t work for respiratory viruses?

Perhaps he got that from Michael Memoli, the flu vaccine researcher & COVID vaccine dissenter, and now Trump hatchet man—and main man of the “new” vaccine initiative.

Yes indeed.

By the way, in digging up the 2022 press release I cited above, I stumbled on a possible explanation for one of RFK’s most baffling statements about vaccines (re Novavax).

Memoli really is pulling the strings around HHS.

On Peter Marks’ firing, @matthewherper.bsky.social has the common sense read. RFK has not even pretended to excuse the firing with any of the various potential good-faith criticisms of Marks. All the evidence is that it’s just what it appears to be: Part of his antivaccine, anti-science agenda.
