Moderna’s mRNA vaccine contract should be restored. Here’s why

The decision by the Trump administration to cancel $766 million in contracts with Moderna for the development of an mRNA vaccine against pandemic influenza viruses, including H5N1 avian flu, has raised concerns among health experts and the scientific community. This move comes as a surprise given the success of mRNA-based Covid-19 vaccines developed under Operation Warp Speed, which have been instrumental in saving countless lives worldwide.

The cancellation of these contracts is particularly worrisome in the face of the looming threat of H5N1 avian influenza, a virus with a potential mortality rate of 50%. With the current Covid-19 pandemic having claimed over 1.2 million American lives, the stakes are high for preparing for the next potential outbreak. The ability of H5N1 to infect a wide range of species, including humans, poses a significant risk of a deadly outbreak if the virus mutates to easily transmit between people.

As a veterinarian with experience working with domestic and wild animals, I understand the gravity of the situation. The recent spread of H5N1 to mammals and the outbreak in U.S. dairy cattle highlight the urgent need for proactive measures to prevent a potential human-to-human transmission. The lack of surveillance efforts and a proactive vaccine program puts us at risk of facing a catastrophic pandemic with devastating consequences.

The decision to cancel the Moderna contracts, influenced by anti-vaccine sentiments, is a dangerous step that puts the entire nation at risk. The dismissal of experts and cutbacks on disease surveillance further exacerbate the vulnerability of the population to potential outbreaks. It is imperative that Congress acts swiftly to reinstate the funds for Moderna and invest in technologies like mRNA vaccines to prepare for future pandemics.

In times of misinformation and polarization, it is crucial to emphasize the importance of herd immunity and the role of vaccines in protecting public health. The potential for a mass casualty event in the event of a pandemic underscores the need for proactive measures to prevent such a crisis. It is essential for lawmakers to prioritize public health and scientific advancements to safeguard the well-being of the population.

Steve Osofsky, D.V.M., a wildlife veterinarian and professor at Cornell University, urges action to address the looming threat of pandemic influenza and the critical role of mRNA vaccines in mitigating the risks. The future of public health and the safety of the population depend on proactive measures to prevent and control infectious disease outbreaks.
