This week, US Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr announced he's cancelling 22 vaccine development projects worth $500 million, specifically targeting mRNA technology used in COVID-19 vaccines. The decision has sparked concern from infectious disease experts who say it could leave America vulnerable to future pandemics. On today’s podcast, we’re going to dive into what these cuts mean, why we’re seeing such dramatic changes in US health policy, and whether similar changes could come to Australia.
