It can make it so that you’re not sick for five days, maybe for two or three days.’[aside postID=news_12045979 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/09/GettyImages-1668874864-1020x646.jpg']“It’s reducing the severity of severe disease — that was sort of the standard,” he continued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennedy also claimed in the social media video that the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines encourage the disease to mutate, and can be rendered ineffective by a single mutation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Karan said that’s “fundamentally untrue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With RNA viruses, you’ve got a lot of mutations going on constantly, so vaccines need to be updated,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take flu shots, for example. The U.S. produces whole-virus vaccines for influenza, which contain dead or weakened strains of the virus, as opposed to the fragment isolated in mRNA shots, but “you still run into the same problem,” according to Karan. “We have to update flu vaccines every year as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Catherine Flores, the executive director of the California Immunization Coalition, said she’s worried that Kennedy’s history of comments about mRNA and other vaccines, coupled with the pulled funding, could cause more people to fear vaccinations in general, even when they’ve been proven to be safe and effective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, the U.S. has already recorded \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/measles-outbreak-texas-rfk-vaccines-8cf4641b04731c713edb524ca943490c\">its highest number of measles cases\u003c/a> in three decades due to outbreaks beginning in undervaccinated parts of West Texas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12028314\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12028314\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/FluGetty.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1405\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/FluGetty.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/FluGetty-800x562.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/FluGetty-1020x717.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/FluGetty-160x112.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/FluGetty-1536x1079.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/FluGetty-1920x1349.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A CVS in Huntington Park on Aug. 28, 2024. \u003ccite>(Christina House/Los Angeles Times via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Following the Texas outbreak, Kennedy \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2025/04/07/nx-s1-5354900/hhs-rfk-endorses-mmr-measles-vaccine-stoking-supporters-fury\">endorsed the measles vaccine in April\u003c/a>, but he’s historically been skeptical of it and has been a central figure in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/science/1997008/the-marin-town-where-rfk-jr-s-message-took-root\">rising movement questioning overall vaccine safety\u003c/a> and effectiveness. The U.S.’s overall vaccination rate against the virus has \u003ca href=\"https://hub.jhu.edu/2025/06/03/united-states-measles-vaccination-rate-declines/\">fallen 2.5%\u003c/a> since 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the U.S. is currently considered to have eliminated measles, it will lose that status if the disease continues to spread for a year without interruption.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s insidious,” Flores said. “Because [Kennedy] has this title and this platform … some people are going to hear it and other people are going to start thinking twice about [vaccines], whereas before maybe they didn’t have those doubts. How many people just won’t vaccinate now because of that creation of doubt that he’s planting?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to its potential effect on vaccination rates, which are key to the “\u003ca href=\"https://www.who.int/news-room/questions-and-answers/item/herd-immunity-lockdowns-and-covid-19\">herd immunity\u003c/a>” so often referenced during the pandemic, Flores is worried that cutting investment in new technology could leave the U.S. underprepared for future viral outbreaks.[aside postID=news_12044201 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/VaccinationsStory.jpg']The move comes just two months after HHS cancelled a more than \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2025/05/28/nx-s1-5414642/trump-vaccine-bird-flu-mrna'\">$750 million contract with Moderna\u003c/a> to develop a vaccine protecting against flu strains with pandemic potential, including bird flu. The deal was coupled with benefits such as the right to purchase shots for Americans ahead of a potential bird flu pandemic. For years, scientists have been warning that the virus that right now rarely transfers from person to person could mutate to be more infectious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The mRNA technology that we had ready to go when COVID-19 started happening was because of all the research that was going on in the past,” Flores told KQED. “It just didn’t happen. It was already under study and use and investigation, and so this can set a lot of projects, a lot of opportunities, back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health and Human Services said in its announcement that its Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority division, which housed the mRNA research projects, would shift to focus on vaccines with “stronger safety records” and more “transparent” practices, including whole-virus vaccines — like those in flu shots — and new technologies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear how the divestment will affect overall mRNA research, though Flores believes it will be harder and more costly for companies. She and Karan both said that the latest mRNA booster shots tailored to emerging strains of COVID-19 should roll out as scheduled this fall, but how companies plan to research and develop future shots is unknown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press conference in Alaska later Tuesday, Kennedy said work was underway on an alternative “universal vaccine” to protect against COVID-19 and the flu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s \u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/carlysevern\">\u003cem>Carly Severn\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

He bought her her meals and gifts, and spent time alone with her in the windowless theater room, the suit claimed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following school year, Weible allegedly abused her in the theater room on campus in the middle of the night. The school’s alarm system went off and police responded, the suit said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In an interview with KQED, the former student, who asked not to be named for this story, said that Weible shoved her into a closet after hearing police arrive, and she snuck out, running through the middle of campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12009621\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12009621 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/SchoolLockers.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1251\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/SchoolLockers.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/SchoolLockers-800x500.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/SchoolLockers-1020x638.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/SchoolLockers-160x100.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/SchoolLockers-1536x961.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/10/SchoolLockers-1920x1201.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">San Ramon Valley Unified is paying nearly $7 million to settle a lawsuit over sexual abuse by former educator Ryan Weible. \u003ccite>(Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“If they checked their security cameras the next day, they would have seen me running across campus at full speed, just afraid and panicking and not sure what to do,” she said. “I was never approached by the school about it; they never talked to me about it. They never talked to me about him at all, actually.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Through his attorney, Weible denied the allegations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Records obtained by KQED from San Ramon Valley Unified show that in 2011, police and district personnel found unused condoms on the desk, a condom wrapper on the ground and a used condom in the garbage can. The district reprimanded him, instructing him to “refrain from inappropriate conduct while on school property” and to stop staying overnight on school property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the records, Weible argued that the professional theatre industry uses condoms as a protective measure against the moisture damage of wireless body microphone transmitters. He said his sound manager had accidentally purchased the wrong type of condoms.[aside postID=news_12050036 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/07/DeltaSFOGetty.jpg']The suit claimed that Weible’s inappropriate behavior was frequently on display. He gave students side hugs, hand massages and had female students sit on his lap, the suit alleged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re an institution managing multiple schools, and you’re just going to keep blowing clear, crazy red flags off? How many kids are you going to hurt to protect your reputation?” Doe said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a written statement, district Superintendent CJ Cammack said the allegations are deeply disturbing, and the case does not reflect “the high quality of our SRVUSD teachers and staff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cammack said the district followed all legally required hiring practices and, in recent years, has made comprehensive improvements to its hiring and background check procedures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am confident that our current staff are committed to acting responsibly and with vigilance in support of student safety,” Cammack wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weible resigned from San Ramon Valley Unified in 2012.

The 10-year half-cent sales tax has accrued about $810 million through June, according to county officials.

Since the tax started collection in July 2021, its revenue has mildly exceeded expectations, generating a little more than $160 million per year. County officials expect future years will yield roughly $170 million for the duration of the tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board agreed to allocate 80% of Measure W funds to the county’s Home Together Fund, which is used for a wide range of services, including acquiring and maintaining temporary and permanent housing and providing services for people experiencing or exiting homelessness. And if the tax generates more than $170 million in a given year, any additional funds would also go into the Home Together Fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The remaining 20% of Measure W’s revenue will be set aside for safety net programs, including food security, behavioral health care and senior services. And, following a recommendation from county staff, the board created a $170 million reserve, which the county can dip into if economic conditions worsen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Alameda supervisors adopted guiding principles for how the fund will be allocated on Tuesday, the granular allocations will be decided at a special meeting next Wednesday. In the meantime, cities are vying for their piece of the pie. Oakland’s newly elected mayor, Barbara Lee, campaigned on a promise to get \u003ca href=\"https://oaklandside.org/2025/03/19/oakland-mayor-election-loren-taylor-barbara-lee-difference-comparison/#h-homelessness-and-housing\">her city’s fair share of Measure W\u003c/a> funds. \u003ca href=\"https://homelessness.acgov.org/homelessness-assets/docs/infographic/Alameda%20County%202024%20PIT%20Homelessness%20Report%20-%20FINAL%20.pdf\">More than half\u003c/a> of Alameda County’s homeless population lives in Oakland, despite its residents making up only a quarter of the county’s total population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_12044478\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12044478\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/20250614_NOKINGSOAKLAND_GC-2-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/20250614_NOKINGSOAKLAND_GC-2-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/20250614_NOKINGSOAKLAND_GC-2-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/20250614_NOKINGSOAKLAND_GC-2-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Oakland mayor Barbara Lee speaks to a crowd of protesters at the No Kings protest in Oakland on June 14, 2025. \u003ccite>(Gina Castro/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>“\u003c/strong>As decisions are being made about where those dollars go, it’s important to ground those conversations based on the need,” Lee said at the meeting. “In Oakland, that need is urgent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Nikki Fortunato Bas, who represents Oakland, agreed with Lee, while also emphasizing the need to address racial disparities in the county’s homeless population.

County officials expect future years will yield roughly $170 million for the duration of the tax.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board agreed to allocate 80% of Measure W funds to the county’s Home Together Fund, which is used for a wide range of services, including acquiring and maintaining temporary and permanent housing and providing services for people experiencing or exiting homelessness. And if the tax generates more than $170 million in a given year, any additional funds would also go into the Home Together Fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The remaining 20% of Measure W’s revenue will be set aside for safety net programs, including food security, behavioral health care and senior services.

Tens of thousands of people have been killed by military forces and starvation, and the situation has only escalated over the last few months, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hunger in Gaza is a humanitarian crisis, according to the World Food Programme. Malnutrition is on the rise, and nearly one person in three goes days without food. An estimated 90,000 women and children are in urgent need of treatment due to starvation, and a single bag of flour costs over US$100, the organization reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dozens of nonprofits and volunteer organizations across the world are working to get food and other essential resources into Gaza, but many of them are stopped from entering by the Israeli government, Kiswani said. The organizations that are allowed into Gaza, such as the World Food Programme, risk being attacked by military forces.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The World Food Programme said in a statement that Israeli authorities had assured organizers that humanitarian convoys would be allowed to conduct their operations without interference by armed forces or military groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Israel is able to act with impunity, able to do whatever it wants. … It’s very clear that the intent here is starvation, ethnic cleansing and genocide,” Kiswani said. “The Israeli government will speak one way, but the actions and practices and policies on the ground reflect something very different.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not the first time that people attempting to get aid and services have been shot at and killed. There is no safe place in Gaza.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
