As a senior Arizonan, I urge continued investment in mRNA vaccine research. Billions have benefited from these safe, effective vaccines, which can be quickly updated for new health threats. Cutting funding now would leave our nation — including Arizona —vulnerable in future pandemics and cause us to lose medical innovation leadership.
We need decisions based on science, not politics. I encourage policymakers and fellow citizens to support strong investment in public health and biomedical research. It’s critical for protecting our communities and economy now and for the future.
