“The Department of Health and Human Services has notified Moderna that it is canceling a nearly $600 million contract with the company to develop, test, and license vaccines for flu strains that could trigger future pandemics, including the dangerous H5N1 bird flu virus,” Stat reports.

1. GODDAMNED FUCKING STUPID

[MLAA]

2. The silver lining is billionaires get a boost on their race to be trillionaires.

[Rebl2]

11. Hopefully

they die from the flu or complications from pneumonia caused by the flu.

[MLAA]

21. Or a deadly case of ultra-affluenza when their 2nd yacht sinks with them on it.

[Ilsa]

3. So dangerous. Incredibly dangerous. They are making

it so hard for me to not pray for their deaths in order to save the lives of people I love.

6. I know. The worst part is this is all petty revenge for 2020.

Because some folks couldn't handle even the most basic measures and they screamed like spoiled toddlers in Target about it on social media. And also their precious man baby lost his plaything too.

4. OMG... If that contract is signed and official, Moderna, go to COURT!

[DET]

19. Unfortunately...

In most cases, the Government has the option to ‘terminate for convenience’. The contractor does not have to be in any way at fault for the contract to be terminated. It is generally assumed that the Government has a good reason to end the contract. However, I do not know if there is any legal recourse if the Government’s intentions are malicious - as in this case - or if there is an overwhelming public interest in maintaining the contract. Would love to know if any lawyers here could address this.

5. May this wretched fucking nightmare administration rot in the hottest circle of hell!

I bet those sick psychopathic fucks are having a good gut laugh and blabbing about how they're "owning the libs" on their stupid fucking conspiracy theory talk shows right now. Eat shit assholes.

7. They want us dead.

That is the clear message from the destruction of healthcare, vaccines, science, research.

[angrychair]

8. Reminder

The Executive branch CANNOT reallocate funds already appropriated by Congress. This is unconstitutional.
Thank you for attending my Ted Talk

[surfered]

9. I guess that's why the can cut Medicare and Medicaid.

Those programs won’t be needed since the poor and the elderly will be dead.

[orangecrush]

14. This

[patphil]

10. fuckin' incredible.

They've done all this in just over 4 months. I don't see how the nation can survive until the next election.
Are they trying to push us into violence so they can declare martial law?

[joshdawg]

20. Yes.

[Johonny]

12. We will fall behind the rest of the world in research

And be buying medicines from Europe and China . . .

From world leader to zero.

[NowsTheTime]

13. Wondering who in gov't is short biotech?

[Botany]

15. Thinning the heard as per the instructions of the big boss Vlad Putin

All this anti vaccine nonsense is from Russia’s misinformation campaigns in order to
weaken America by disease, deaths, and social unrest via mouth breathers who get
their information from right wing sources.

This will kill people.



Bring back iron lungs too.

[xuplate]

16. Is RFK trying to kill us on purpose?

[FuzzyRabbit]

22. Yes!

Look at his eyes. He's obviously crazy!

[dchill]

23. You're catching on!

[SleeplessinSoCal]

17. It's got to be overturned.

If we intend to be a mentally healthy nation, we need to rid us of the conspiracy nuts. Our physical health is another matter.

Why can't this ego maniac RFK Jr, be charged with endangering the health of the nation? He should be behind bars.

[Marthe48]

18. felon doing what he does best-mass murder

He got away with it when Covid started and is back at it.

[Jack Valentino]

24. This is RFK Jr's PAYBACK, for not giving him the Democratic presidential nomination!

Since diseases spread most rapidly in big cities, and Democrats are concentrated there, he's right on target.



That actually is a lot more plausible than any of his crackpot medical theories!
