Kennedy Jr. contra las vacunas de ARN mensajero

Son las vacunas que nos salvaron de la pandemia

Transcript

00:00Hola, es Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. aquí, tu secretario de HHS.

00:10En HHS, tenemos una división llamada la Biomedical Advanced Research y Development Authority, o BARDA.

00:18BARDA drive some of our most advanced scientific research.

00:21It funds developments of vaccines, drugs, diagnostics, and other tools to fight emergent diseases

00:27and national health threats.

00:30Over the past few weeks, BARDA reviewed 22 mRNA vaccine development investments

00:36and began canceling them.

00:39Let me explain why.

00:40Most of these shots are for flu or COVID, but as the pandemic showed us,

00:44mRNA vaccines don't perform well against viruses that infect the upper respiratory tract.

00:51Here's the problem.

00:52mRNA only codes for a small part of the viral proteins, usually a single antigen.

00:59One mutation and the vaccine becomes ineffective.

01:03This dynamic drives a phenomena called antigenic shift,

01:07meaning that the vaccine paradoxically encourages new mutations

01:12and can actually prolong pandemics as the virus constantly mutates

01:16to escape the protective effects of the vaccine.

01:20After reviewing the science and consulting top experts at NIH and FDA,

01:26HHS has determined that mRNA technology poses more risks than benefits for these respiratory viruses.

01:34That's why after extensive review, BARDA has begun the process of terminating these 22 contracts,

01:41totaling just under $500 million.

01:43To replace the troubled mRNA programs, we're prioritizing the development of safer,

01:50broader vaccine strategies, like whole virus vaccines and novel platforms

01:56that don't collapse when viruses mutate.

01:59Let me be absolutely clear.

02:01HHS supports safe, effective vaccines for every American who wants them.

02:06That's why we're moving beyond the limitations of mRNA for respiratory viruses

02:12and investing in better solutions.

02:15Thank you.

02:16HHS We really need to know who works here.

02:31Today is a هي of St. Louisville, a revision of St. Louisville.

02:33HHS, HHS, HHS, HHS, HHS, HHS, HHS, HHS, HHS, HHS!.

02:37Gracias.
