Washington, D.C., August 5, 2025 — The Alliance for mRNA Medicines released the following statement in response to recent actions by the US Department of Health and Human Services regarding mRNA technology:
“Support for mRNA technology, which was catalyzed by President Trump’s leadership during his first term, has been a vital component of the U.S. national security strategy and is critical to protecting Americans against emerging threats. The science clearly supports utilizing mRNA medicines to protect Americans. Secretary Kennedy’s unscientific and misguided vilification of mRNA technology and cancellation of grants is the epitome of cutting off your nose to spite your face. Secretary Kennedy’s action constitutes the standing down of our national defense and ceding US scientific leadership to China and other countries.”
