RFK Jr. Cancels $500 Million in mRNA Vaccine Contracts! — Critics Say It’s Long Overdue

In a move that’s sending shockwaves through the public health world, U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just pulled the plug on nearly $500 million in federal funding in government funding for mRNA vaccine developmentciting the data and putting public health back in focus.

“The data show these vaccines fail to protect effectively against upper respiratory infections like COVID and flu,” said Kennedy. “We’re shifting funding to safer platforms.”

That’s right. After years of being told mRNA shots were the future, the U.S. government is backing off — and Canadians should be paying attention.

The mRNA Bubble Is Bursting

Twenty-two federal programs under the U.S. Center for the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) agency are being shut down or scaled back. No new mRNA projects will be launched. And while some contracts will be allowed to run their course, this signals a massive reversal from the uncritical embrace of mRNA tech we’ve seen since 2020.

Mainstream media, predictably, is spinning this as a “threat to pandemic preparedness.” But critics — including many scientists, doctors and vaccine-injured families — say it’s a long-overdue first step toward truth and accountability.

“The mRNA vaccines have not been fit for purpose,” said CHD CEO Mary Holland, Esq.
“The overwhelming evidence suggests they were injurious and deadly to millions.”

Here in Canada, where public health messaging still clings to the ‘safe and effective’ mantra, this announcement should be a wake-up call.

What About the Harms?

Let’s be clear: This isn’t just about money. It’s about trust, truth and the mounting evidence of harm.

  • Massive Cleveland Clinic studies showed more COVID shots = higher risk of infection

  • Heart damage, blood clots and autoimmune issues — all now linked to mRNA products

  • In May, even the FDA had to update Pfizer and Moderna labels to include heart inflammation risks

In Canada, similar safety concerns have been brushed off. Our regulatory bodies haven’t budged — but if the U.S. is rethinking mRNA, why aren’t we?

“The evidence shows these shots didn’t end the pandemic — they prolonged it,” said Holland.

Critics Say It’s Not Enough

Former pharma exec Sasha Latypova welcomed the funding cuts — but warned they don’t go far enough.

Pfizer and Moderna already made off with billions in taxpayer money. Dangerous products remain on the market. And contracts for new mRNA vaccines — including bird flu shots — are still active.

“This is a half-step. We need the full truth,” Latypova said.

Experts like Dr. Meryl Nass are asking deeper questions:
Why does BARDA still fund other pandemic “countermeasures”? Why are liability shields still in place under U.S. emergency laws? Why is the FDA fast-tracking new mRNA shots without long-term safety studies?

What It Means for Canadians

Canada followed the U.S. lead during COVID — often without question. Our own government poured billions into mRNA tech, locked up procurement contracts, and censored dissent.

Yet now, even the U.S. is admitting the tech doesn’t work as promised.

If RFK Jr. can act on the data, why can’t Canadian health officials? Where is Health Canada’s review of mRNA safety and efficacy? Where is the apology to Canadians who were coerced, injured, or silenced?

CHD Canada’s Message:

Don’t wait for the Canadian government or media to tell you the truth.

This cancellation is proof the cracks are widening. The narrative is unraveling. And the time for blind trust in fast-tracked pharma is over.

We call on Canadian officials to:

✅ Conduct an independent public review of all mRNA vaccine contracts
✅ Immediately halt further mRNA vaccine rollout until safety is confirmed
✅ End censorship and allow open scientific debate
✅ Restore full informed consent and medical freedom for all Canadians

This is more than a U.S. story — it’s a global turning point!
