Overview

  • British cardiologist Aseem Malhotra told The Daily Beast the Trump administration could remove the shots “within months,” describing either a staged review or a single sweeping decision.
  • The White House called the claims “baseless speculation” and said any policy will be grounded in “gold standard” science.
  • Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has already terminated roughly $500 million across 22 BARDA mRNA respiratory-vaccine projects.
  • More than 750 current and former staff from HHS, CDC and NIH recently accused Kennedy in a public letter of spreading inaccurate vaccine information and undermining public health.
  • Malhotra cites a 2022 Vaccine journal analysis of trial data to justify the push, though many scientists have rejected that paper as methodologically flawed and misleading.
