Kennedy's case against mRNA vaccines collapses under his own evidence

- Robert F. Kennedy Jr. terminated $500 million in federal funding for mRNA vaccine research, citing a 181-page document as evidence.
- The document is a bibliography compiled by non-experts, not a government analysis, and originated from contributions to 'TOXIC SHOT' with a foreword by Sen. Ron Johnson.
- Most papers in the document are in vitro studies on SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, not vaccines, and some explicitly support vaccination benefits over risks.
- The compilation misrepresents studies by using intravenous or brain injections in mice, which are irrelevant to human intramuscular vaccine administration.
- The document selectively highlights rare adverse events like anaphylaxis and myocarditis without context, ignoring lower real-world rates and higher risks from infection.
- Critical studies showing no increased risks from vaccines, like the Danish nationwide study and Global Vaccine Data Network analysis, are omitted.
- Kennedy's decision undermines pandemic preparedness by cutting late-stage development projects that private companies cannot fund, delaying future vaccine updates.
- The compilation misleads about spike protein persistence, ignoring that vaccine spike clears faster than infection-related spike due to no viral replication.
- Kennedy's use of evidence contradicts the actual conclusions of cited studies, which often state findings are preliminary or support vaccination.
- The decision reflects either incompetence or willful misrepresentation, threatening tools needed for future pandemics.
