Summary

1. Cancellation of Moderna's Bird Flu Vaccine Contract

  • The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), under Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., canceled a $766 million contract with Moderna.
  • The contract was intended to fund the development of an mRNA-based vaccine for pandemic influenza, including H5N1 (bird flu).
  • Despite positive early trial results from Moderna, the administration cited scientific, ethical, and safety concerns as reasons for the cancellation.
  • The move reflects RFK Jr.'s skepticism toward mRNA vaccines and aligns with his broader rollback of COVID-19 vaccine recommendations.

2. FBI Reopening High-Profile Investigations

  • FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino announced the reopening or renewed focus on several public corruption cases, including:
    • The January 6 pipe bomb incident.
    • The White House cocaine discovery (July 2023).
    • The leak of the 2022 Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
  • Bongino emphasized a push for transparency and public engagement, encouraging tips from the public.

3. Federal Crackdown on Harvard University

  • The Trump administration is canceling or redirecting $100 million in federal contracts with Harvard, following a freeze of $2.6 billion in research grants.
  • The administration cites concerns over campus climate, anti-American sentiment, and violence against Jewish and American students.
  • Additional measures include:
    • Pausing student visa interviews.
    • Implementing new social media screening for foreign students.
  • The administration frames this as a move to redirect funds to trade schools, promote accountability, and encourage institutional self-reliance.
