The Independent Medical Alliance praises HHS Secretary RFK Jr.’s decision to end 22 BARDA mRNA programs, citing safety concerns and calling it a victory for patient protection and medical accountability.
“This is a huge statement for patient safety.” – Dr. Joseph Varon
The Independent Medical Alliance (IMA) applauds HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s decisive move to terminate 22 BARDA mRNA experimental programs, halting nearly $500 million in reckless spending on unproven gene therapies. HHS’s action signals a new era of accountability, aligning with the Make America Healthy Again (MAHA) movement prioritizing safety over experimentation.
“This is a huge statement for patient safety,” said Dr. Joseph Varon, IMA President and Chief Medical Officer. “The mRNA experiment, pushed with unprecedented government overreach, has left a trail of harm—heart damage, cancer risks, and countless injuries—while offering little benefit to healthy Americans. Secretary Kennedy’s action today is a strong move toward ending this dangerous chapter in public health.”
There is a growing body of peer reviewed studies that are revealing heart damage, liver damage, cancer growth and other side effects from mRNA, including a groundbreaking study published in the International Journal of Cardiovascular Research & Innovation which found a 620% spike in myocarditis risk and a 175% jump in pericarditis risk in young men after mRNA vaccination.
“History will remember the mRNA COVID era as a time of tremendous government overreach and a reckless mandate of an unproven and harmful shot,” concluded Varon.
