RFK Jr.'s Health Policies Spark Concerns Over Science

The new head of health in the US is making changes that scientists worry will make it harder to fight diseases.

He stopped funding research on special vaccines called mRNA vaccines, which were used to help fight COVID-19.

He thinks these vaccines don't work well and can cause heart problems, which scientists disagree with.

Because of these changes, some scientists are worried about the future of medical research in the US.

They fear that the country might lose its leading position in science and that it's becoming unsafe to work in science.

Some people on the right side of politics are distrusting of anything that feels official which is driving some of these changes.
