Scientists say NIH officials told them to scrub mRNA references on grants

NIH officials instructed scientists to remove mRNA vaccine technology references from grant applications, indicating a possible shift away from this area of research.
President Donald Trump highlighted that mRNA technology was instrumental in COVID-19 vaccine development, which saved 3 million lives.
An NIH official confirmed that acting Director Kenneth Memoli's communication indicated that any mRNA vaccine-related grants need to be reported to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s office.
Legislation in at least seven states seeks to ban or limit mRNA vaccines, reflecting ongoing political and public health debates regarding these vaccines.
