00:00RFK Jr. just pulled the plug on half a billion dollars in vaccine development funding.

00:05And the fallout? Massive.

00:07In a bold move, the U.S. Health Department is scrapping nearly two dozen mRNA vaccine projects.

00:13These were designed to fight major respiratory viruses, like COVID-19 and the flu.

00:18Led by pharma giants like Pfizer and Moderna, the projects were part of a $500 million push.

00:24Now, canceled.

00:25RFK Jr. says it's time for safer and broader vaccine strategies.

00:30He wants whole virus vaccines and new tech that doesn't break down when viruses mutate.

00:34But top infectious disease experts are ringing alarm bells.

00:38They say mRNA technology saved millions during the COVID-19 crisis.

00:43And without it, the world may struggle in the next pandemic.

00:46Even researchers using mRNA for cancer treatments are left wondering what's next.

00:51Kennedy's decision marks a major shift in vaccine priorities.

00:54And it could change the future of how America prepares for outbreaks.

00:58What do you think?

00:58Bold leadership or a dangerous gamble?
