August 7, 2025

It was reported that the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority will terminate 22 mRNA vaccine-development contracts.
Michael Osterholm, PhD, MPH, director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP) at the University of Minnesota, said the decision is one of the "worst decisions" he's seen. "mRNA technology could save us in the next pandemic," he said.
“The MMA continues to be disappointed, and concerned, with how the current administration is turning its back on science,” said MMA President Edwin Bogonko, MD, MBA. “mRNA vaccines saved thousands of Minnesotans during the COVID-19 pandemic. We need more vaccine development, not less.”
