mRNA vaccines were hailed as medical breakthroughs in the fight against Covid.

mRNA 疫苗被譽為抗擊 Covid 的醫學突破。

Now the US Department of Health and Human Services is slashing a half billion dollars in government funding for mRNA vaccine development.

現在，美國衛生與公眾服務部正在削減用於 mRNA 疫苗研發的 5 億美元政府資金。

Twenty-two projects will be shelved with future vaccine efforts going to other platforms like whole virus vaccines.

22 個項目將被擱置，未來的疫苗工作將轉向其他平臺，如全病毒疫苗。

Kennedy Jr. says mRNA vaccines don't offer effective protection against upper respiratory infections like Covid and flu.

小肯尼迪說，mRNA 疫苗不能有效預防上呼吸道感染，如 Covid 和流感。

Medical evidence shows they do help prevent severe disease and death from Covid and show promise against influenza.

醫學證據表明，它們確實有助於預防嚴重疾病和科威德引起的死亡，並顯示出預防流感的前景。

She is a biochemist and researcher who was jointly awarded the 2023 Nobel Peace Prize for Medicine for work involving mRNA technology used in the first wave of Covid vaccines.

她是一位生物化學家和研究員，因其在第一波 Covid 疫苗中使用的 mRNA 技術而被聯合授予 2023 年諾貝爾醫學和平獎。

I want to begin by asking as someone who has dedicated decades to advancing mRNA technology and as I've just mentioned has won a Nobel Prize for that contribution.

首先，我想以一個幾十年來一直致力於推動 mRNA 技術發展，並是以獲得諾貝爾獎的人的身份問一下。

What is your reaction to the Trump administration's decision to cancel nearly half a billion dollars of mRNA funding today?

您對特朗普政府今天決定取消近 5 億美元的 mRNA 資金有何反應？

Definitely the global progress of vaccine development and the global progress of science suffered tremendously and I am very disappointed but you know what we can do and that's what I always ask myself you know when I was in Hungary and then I moved to the United States and then when I couldn't do things here then I moved another country to Germany so you know that's what I am thinking that what the scientists can do now.

全球疫苗研發和科學進步無疑受到了巨大的影響，我對此感到非常失望，但你知道我們能做些什麼，這也是我一直在問自己的問題，你知道我在匈牙利的時候，然後我搬到了美國，當我在這裡做不了事情的時候，我又搬到了另一個國家德國，所以你知道我在想科學家們現在能做些什麼。

I just want to ask you about the HHS, Robert F.

我只想問你關於 HHS 的問題，Robert F.

Kennedy Jr. saying that vaccines don't offer effective protection against upper respiratory infections like Covid and flu.

小肯尼迪（Kennedy Jr.）說，疫苗不能有效預防上呼吸道感染，如 Covid 和流感。

This is one of their core reasons for diverting funding away from this technology.

這也是他們將資金從這項技術上挪用的核心原因之一。

What is your response to that and the efficacy of this vaccine in treating that?

您對此有何反應，這種疫苗對治療這種疾病有何療效？

So obviously you know when you are sick you wouldn't ask advice from a lawyer like Kennedy.

所以很明顯，你知道當你生病時，你不會向肯尼迪這樣的律師諮詢。

You know you ask experts, your physician for advice and obviously he is misinformed and and do not understand that you know science is knowledge which was you know around the world and we collected those with observation, experimentation, measurements and all of the scientific evidence and you know when you just reject and rely on misinformation then you make a decision like he made which is you know false based on false information and so I am thinking what we can do as a scientist and you know I already thought about for from January that we have to educate the public, help out you know understanding that we are scientists is one of them and we are dedicating all our life to advanced science and what science means.

你知道，你會向專家、醫生尋求建議，但很明顯，他被誤導了，而且他不明白，你知道，科學就是知識，而知識就在你身邊，我們通過觀察、實驗、測量和所有科學證據收集這些知識、是以，我在想，作為一名科學家，我們能做些什麼？從一月份開始，我就在想，我們必須教育公眾，幫助他們瞭解我們是科學家，我們畢生都在為先進的科學和科學的意義而奮鬥。

You've just spoken about the fact that you had to move away from Hungary in order to continue your research in mRNA.

您剛才談到，為了繼續從事 mRNA 研究，您不得不離開匈牙利。

I mean the US Health Secretary we know is a long time vaccine sceptic.

我的意思是，我們知道美國衛生部長長期以來一直對疫苗持懷疑態度。

This policy is not likely to change any time soon therefore what will your next moves be?

這項政策不可能在短期內改變，是以您的下一步行動是什麼？

I mean I am already 70 years old so I don't know much but you know I can see that what the I did you know when you know move to another country you know in Europe or in Asia, in Japan, in China you know where messenger RNA research is advancing and in many of the clinical trials are running there and so what I have done you know 40 years ago pack in, leave all the loved behind and move to the to here to the United States and when I couldn't do here you know what I wanted I moved to Germany so that might be the solution those scientists who want to advance you know they might move in another country and of course you know when science and knowledge here is under attack and funding is low you know it is really the next generation will suffer the most you know.

我的意思是我已經70歲了，所以我知道的不多，但我可以看到，我所做的，你知道，當你知道搬到另一個國家，你知道在歐洲或亞洲，在日本，在中國，你知道信使RNA的研究正在推進，在許多臨床試驗正在那裡運行，所以我做了什麼，你知道40年前包裝、當我在這裡無法實現我的願望時，我就搬到了德國，所以這可能是那些想要進步的科學家的解決辦法，他們可能會搬到另一個國家，當然，當科學和知識在這裡受到攻擊，資金不足時，真正受苦受難的是下一代。

Yeah and on that note I mean how does a move like this impact vaccine development not just in the US but globally?

是的，關於這一點，我的意思是，這樣的舉動會對美國乃至全球的疫苗研發產生什麼影響？

Obviously you know the United States was a power in in science and it's still but you know we can see that other part of the world is advancing and of course it will hurt tremendously and you know when we have the next pandemic you know we have to beg other countries to help us out because obviously the messenger RNA vaccine can be developed quickly and very effective and so that's what we will rely on to help out from China and from European countries when next time we have a pandemic.

顯然，美國是科學強國，現在仍然如此，但我們可以看到，世界其他地區也在進步，當然，這將對我們造成巨大傷害，當下一次大流行發生時，我們必須懇求其他國家幫助我們，因為信使核糖核酸疫苗顯然可以很快開發出來，而且非常有效，所以當下一次大流行發生時，我們將依靠中國和歐洲國家的幫助。

I mean the concern is that we will face another pandemic like COVID sometime soon in our future.

我的意思是，我們擔心的是，在不久的將來，我們會再次面臨類似 COVID 的大流行病。

How do you think the US health system would react in its current state as and when that happens?

您認為當這種情況發生時，美國醫療系統會如何應對目前的狀況？

You know I don't know what will happen but obviously you know globally we have other countries strong science is ongoing and you know it will be strengthened by American scientists who will move to other countries just like many of us you know packed in and left and you know maybe that's how we could keep the science going because that's what we as a scientific thinking you know we have just one life and then what we can do and I can see these two things that advancing then you have to move and then we have to educate the American public about what the scientists are doing and who we are as a scientist.

你知道我不知道會發生什麼，但很明顯，你知道在全球範圍內，我們有其他國家強大的科學正在進行，你知道它將由美國科學家加強，他們將移動到其他國家，就像我們中的許多人一樣，你知道打包和離開，你知道也許這就是我們如何能夠保持科學的發展，因為這是我們作為一個科學的思維，你知道我們只有一個生命，然後我們可以做什麼，我可以看到這兩件事情，推進然後你必須移動，然後我們必須教育美國公眾瞭解科學家正在做什麼，我們是誰作為一個科學家。
