Moderna halts RSV mRNA trail abruptly as vaccinated children twice as likely to get a severe illness

By Jo Nova

Not only is the new RSV vaccine not safe and effective, early results suggest it makes the disease worse

Bear in mind, they are experimenting on the youngest of the young: babies from 5 months to 2 years of age, and we are dealing with a disease that 90% of babies will catch in their first two years. Some of these babies will get a severe life threatening disease, but as I reported last month, the ones who are deficient in vitamin D are 5 to 10 times more likely to end up in intensive care. We can already do a lot to protect these babies, more cheaply and with far less risk than testing immature and complex therapies.

Moderna’s mRNA vaccine against RSV takes a tumble

The latest trial data demonstrates the dangerous speed of innovation.

This week, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) disclosed that vaccinated children in the trial experienced higher rates of severe RSV compared to those in the placebo group.

The data was striking: 12.5% of vaccinated children developed severe or very […]
