💨 Abstract

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has claimed that mRNA vaccines are ineffective against upper respiratory infections like COVID-19 and the flu. This claim is contradicted by scientific evidence showing that mRNA vaccines significantly reduce severe illness and death, though they do not entirely prevent infection. Experts note that mRNA vaccines work by instructing the body to produce proteins that trigger an immune response, making the body ready to fight infections more effectively.
