9.4 Million US Children Vaccinated as Controversy Grows Over mRNA Vaccines and New Surgeon General

Approximately 9.4 million children in the United States have received the latest version of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, with around 500 mRNA vaccine products currently in development. The appointment of the new Surgeon General has sparked controversy, particularly among the MAHA movement, which views mRNA vaccines as unsafe and ineffective. Critics argue that government leaders, including HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra, have remained silent or skeptical about mRNA vaccines despite their widespread use. Some lawmakers, such as Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene, Rand Paul, and Thomas Massie, are actively opposing the continued use of mRNA vaccines and face criticism for their stance. The debate highlights divisions within public health policy and skepticism about vaccine safety and efficacy.
