Day: February 26, 2025

As his first major action as Secretary of Health and Human Services, RFK Jr. has ordered an immediate suspension for all actions related to the Vaxart oral covid shot, moments before 10,000 Americans were about to begin testing the vaccine.

This follows a 90-day stop-work order issued Friday to Vaxart, halting the Biden era Project NextGen initiative, funded through a $4.7 billion Strategic Pandemic Preparedness Grant with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), saving the American taxpayers $230 Million! RFK:

“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. I look forward to working with Vaxart and medical experts to ensure this work produces safe, effective, and fiscal-minded vaccine technology.”

Vaxart will be required to monitor the few individuals who took part in an initial round of trials, to ensure they do not suffer from any extreme side effects.

The announcement comes just under two weeks after Kennedy was confirmed and sworn in as the nation’s 26th chief of HHS. The same day he was sworn in, President Donald Trump signed an executive order creating the Make America Healthy Again Commission, which is led by Kennedy to investigate and address “the root causes of America’s escalating health crisis.”

An unknown illness has killed over 50 people in the northwest of the Democratic Republic of Congo, according to doctors in the central African nation and the World Health Organization.

The interval between the onset of symptoms and death has been just 48 hours in the majority of cases, and “that’s what’s really worrying,” Serge Ngalebato, medical director of Bikoro Hospital, a regional monitoring center, told The Associated Press on Monday.  

The latest disease outbreak in Congo began on Jan. 21, and 419 cases had been recorded as of Monday, including 53 deaths.

According to the WHO’s Africa office, the first outbreak in the town of Boloko began after three children ate a bat and died within 48 hours following hemorrhagic fever symptoms.

Calin Georgescu’s election victory was annulled last year over allegations of illegal activities related to campaign financing

Romanian police have arrested Calin Georgescu, the front-runner in last year’s annulled presidential election, and conducted dozens of raids on his supporters and people tied to his campaign, local media reported on Wednesday.

A critic of NATO and the EU and an opponent of sending aid to Ukraine, Georgescu made headlines in November last year when he unexpectedly garnered 23% of the vote in the first round of the presidential election in Romania. However, the Constitutional Court annulled the results shortly before the second round, citing intelligence documents alleging ‘irregularities’ in his campaign.

Georgescu’s communications team has said on Facebook that he was arrested just as he was about to submit his new candidacy for the presidency.
