US Pays Moderna $176 Million To Develop MRNA Bird Flu Vaccine Amidst Growing Pandemic Fears

Yesterday pharmaceutical giant Moderna revealed that they just secured a new contract valued at $176 million to produce new mRNA vaccines to combat bird flu.

In a July 2nd press release, Moderna stated:

Moderna, Inc. today announced a project award of $176 million through the Rapid Response Partnership Vehicle (RRPV) to accelerate the development of mRNA-based pandemic influenza vaccines. The RRPV is a Consortium funded by the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), part of the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR) within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

The project award will support late-stage development for an mRNA-based vaccine to enable the licensure of a pre-pandemic vaccine against H5 influenza virus. This subtype of influenza virus causes a highly infectious, severe disease in birds called avian influenza and poses a risk for spillover into the human population. The agreement also includes additional options to prepare and accelerate aresponse to future public health threats.

“mRNA vaccine technology offers advantages in efficacy, speed of development, and production scalability and reliability in addressing infectious disease outbreaks, as demonstrated during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Stéphane Bancel, Chief Executive Officer of Moderna. “We are pleased to continue our collaboration with BARDA to expedite our development efforts for mRNA-based pandemic influenza vaccines and support the global public health community in preparedness against potential outbreaks.”

In 2023, Moderna initiated a Phase 1/2 study to generate safety and immunogenicity data of investigational pandemic influenza vaccine (mRNA-1018) in healthy adults 18 years of age and older. The study includes vaccine candidates against H5 and H7 avian influenza viruses. Results from the study are expected in 2024 and will inform Phase 3 development plans.

This project is being funded with federal funds from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS); Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response (ASPR); Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), under Other Transaction (OT) number: 75A50123D00005.

Dawn O’Connell, assistant secretary for preparedness and response at the Department of Health and Human Services, commented on the news in an exclusive interview with Bloomberg. She said, “Our job is to be prepared should that change. “If you had asked any expert in 2018 what they expected to be the next pandemic, they would have said a highly virulent flu.”

Bloomberg continued:

While the focus of the government award is dangerous influenza strains, that could shift should a different pandemic threat emerge, she said.

Results from Moderna’s early studies of the bird flu shot are expected in the next few weeks. The US government contract is a win for the company, which is looking for new sources of revenue and trying to shake its reliance on the fading market for Covid vaccines.

O’Connell said the U.S. wants to help Moderna generate the data it would need to get clearance from U.S. regulators. But the contract, which was made through the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, goes much further, she said. It includes options for the U.S. to purchase vaccine supplies, which would be produced domestically and require additional funding.

The US has already reached terms with the biotechnology company to ensure “fair pricing” for the American taxpayer, O’Connell said, though she declined to describe the specific details of the contract.

Moderna likely isn’t the only pharmaceutical company that will reach a contract to develop mRNA vaccines for pandemic flu. The U.S. anticipates making additional announcements about other awards, she said. Asked about negotiations with Pfizer, O’Connell declined to comment.

Traditional pandemic flu vaccines are further along in development and production. The US has two such vaccines candidates tailored to the current H5N1 strain, and is testing them with GSK Plc, Sanofi SA and CSL Seqirus. There are hundreds of thousands of pre-filled syringes already on hand, and the US has tasked CSL with filling-and-finishing another 4.8 million vaccine doses.

O’Connell said that those doses will “begin to roll off the production lines in mid-July.”

In May, The WinePress reported that the U.S. revealed it was in talks with Moderna to curate new mRNA vaccines for bird flu. Pharmaceutical and biotech firms saw notable stock market gains on the news they too would be racing to make new vaccines and treatments.

Most recently, Finland has become the first nation to begin providing vaccines for bird flu.

Former CDC Director Robert Redfield has repeatedly warned that bird flu will become the “next pandemic,” with a mortality of anywhere from 25%-50%. SEE: Former CDC Director Robert Redfield Adamantly Warns For 4th Time ‘We Will Have A Bird Flu Pandemic,’ With ’25-50% Mortality’

The WP has also continued to highlight a number of mainstream media headlines warning about the spread of bird flu. One of the latest includes a Reuters report alleging bird flu has caused disruptions in their egg producers, causing some locations to trim their breakfast serving hours. “Like many retailers, we are carefully managing supply of eggs due to current industry challenges,” McDonalds said in a statement.

“Consumers can be assured there’s still over 20 million hens under the care of hundreds of egg farmers across Australia that will continue to work hard to ensure there’s eggs on shelves,” Rowan McMonnies, the managing director of industry body Australian Eggs.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced recently that they are now providing 90% value of milk stock lost due to bird flu.

“USDA remains committed to working with producers, state veterinarians, animal health professionals, and our federal partners as we continue to detect the presence of H5N1 in dairy herds and take additional measures to contain the spread of the disease,” said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. “When something unexpected, like H5N1, threatens the economic viability of the producers we serve, we are committed to finding ways, where we have the authority to do so, to revisit existing program policies and provide the financial support needed to help producers recover and sustain production.”

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

And how long before they try shoving this on us again, and start injecting cattle, chickens, and other livestock and wildlife with this?

Get ready for it, folks. I’ve speculated for years now that this would be the next shamdemic the elites would use on us. Again, to clarify, I do not even believe there is a “bird flu.” It’s just propaganda in my book, and at the very least it’s just symptoms of EMF radiation and poor diet, and the “vaccines” from the last go-around; and poor feed and living conditions among the animals, and constant vaccination and drugs fed to them.

1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.

If deaths in people really start springing up dramatically and undeniably, I suspect it will be the ones who took the Covid-19 shots…

[8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
