The HHS contract is with American biotech company Vaxart Inc., which has been developing a new COVID-19 vaccine that is taken orally. Kennedy did not terminate the contract. Instead, the trial is paused with a 90-day stop-work order issued on Friday. …

The contract is part of the Biden administration $4.7 billion Project NextGen initiative, which it launched in 2023 to “streamline the development of new vaccines,” the report states. The Vaxart vaccine is funded through an agreement with BARDA (Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority), which is a department in the Administration for Strategic Preparedness and Response under HHS.

Fox News Digital learned that BARDA had obligated $460 million for the development of Vaxart’s COVID-19 vaccine, and $240 million had already been authorized for the preliminary study.

The stop-work order prevents Vaxart from invoicing BARDA for the remaining $230 million for clinical trials until further notice, according to the report. Vaxart is still able to invoice HHS for medical monitoring of people who took part in early trials. …
