Robert Kennedy Saves Americans $460 Million by Canceling New COVID Vaccine Program

The winds of change are blowing through Washington. Americans voted for a complete overhaul of the federal government last November. They demanded accountability, transparency, and a return to common sense. Now, just weeks into the new administration, we’re seeing exactly that.

Remember the days of lockdowns, mandates, and endless government overreach? The previous administration seemed to have an insatiable appetite for controlling Americans’ health choices. Now the adults are back in charge, and they’re finding quite the mess to clean up. Surprise, surprise!

Biden’s Billion-Dollar Vaccine Bonanza

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has put the brakes on a massive $460 million federal contract for a new COVID-19 vaccine that was initiated by the Biden administration. The contract, awarded to biotech company Vaxart Inc., was for the development of an oral COVID-19 vaccine. Clinical trials involving 10,000 participants were set to begin this week. That’s right—another vaccine nobody asked for!

From ‘The Post Millennial’:

“While it is crucial that the Department [of] Health and Human Services (HHS) support pandemic preparedness, four years of the Biden administration’s failed oversight have made it necessary to review agreements for vaccine production, including Vaxart’s,” Kennedy said in comments provided to Fox News. “I look forward to working with Vaxart and medical experts to ensure this work produces safe, effective, and fiscal-minded vaccine technology.”

This contract wasn’t just a drop in the bucket. It was part of Biden’s massive $4.7 billion “Project NextGen” initiative launched in 2023. Talk about a spending spree with your tax dollars!

The Biden administration apparently never met a vaccine program it didn’t want to throw billions at. Your wallet was wide open, and Big Pharma was happy to cash in.

Kennedy’s 90-day stop-work order will give HHS time to properly review the contract. The agency has already authorized $240 million for preliminary studies. The remaining $230 million is now on hold.

Vaxart can still bill for monitoring participants from earlier trials, but no new invoices for the remaining funds will be processed during the review. That’s $230 million potentially saved for hardworking American taxpayers!

America First Health Policy Takes Shape

This decisive action comes less than two weeks after Kennedy was confirmed as HHS Secretary. The Trump administration isn’t wasting any time implementing its health policy vision. On the day RFK Jr. was sworn in, President Trump signed an executive order establishing the “Make America Healthy Again Commission.”

The commission, led by Kennedy, will investigate “the root causes of America’s escalating health crisis.”

Their initial focus will be on chronic childhood diseases, including autism. Finally, someone’s asking the tough questions that have been ignored for years! American families deserve answers, not more bureaucratic stonewalling.

Since returning to office in January, President Trump has been systematically rolling back the previous administration’s COVID-19 overreach. He’s reinstated military personnel who were discharged for refusing the vaccine.

These brave men and women can now receive back pay. He’s also prohibited federal funding for vaccine mandates in schools. Our children and military heroes are finally getting the respect they deserve!

Remember when questioning vaccine policy made you a “conspiracy theorist”? Now those same questions are being asked by the Secretary of Health and Human Services. How times have changed! Yesterday’s “misinformation” is today’s government policy. Funny how that works.

Taxpayers Finally Getting Protection

The Biden administration’s approach to COVID vaccines wasn’t just medically questionable—it was financially reckless.

Throwing billions at pharmaceutical companies with minimal oversight became standard operating procedure. Your grandchildren were being put in debt to fund experimental products with questionable benefits.

Kennedy’s pause on this contract signals a new era of fiscal responsibility. Every dollar spent will be scrutinized.

Every contract will be reviewed. The blank checks to Big Pharma are being torn up. What a concept—actually caring about how government spends our money!

This pause isn’t about being anti-science.

It’s about being pro-accountability. Kennedy himself stated he looks forward to working with Vaxart and medical experts to ensure this work produces “safe, effective, and fiscal-minded vaccine technology.” The key difference? The emphasis on “fiscal-minded.” What a refreshing change!

Key Takeaways:

  • RFK Jr. has halted a $460 million Biden-era COVID vaccine contract.
  • The contract was part of Biden’s massive $4.7 billion Project NextGen initiative.
  • President Trump has already taken executive action to reinstate military personnel discharged for refusing vaccines.
