It's Friday, August 8th.
I'm Jane Koston, and this is What A Day,
the show that wants to know the audience for a podcast from Katie Miller,
also known as Elon Musk's lapdog,
or Mrs. White House Deputy Chief of Staff and noted terrible person Stephen Miller.
Hi, I'm Katie Miller.
Welcome to my podcast and welcome to my living room.
You may be wondering what I'm doing here hosting a podcast.
I am wondering.
I'm wondering about a lot of things, but I am definitely wondering about that.
On today's show, President Donald Trump says he wants a new census,
but mercifully, that might be difficult.
And after months of back and forth, the president's tariffs are now in effect.
But let's start by talking about vaccines, specifically mRNA vaccines.
If you got a COVID-19 vaccine made by Moderna or Pfizer, congratulations.
You got a vaccine that uses mRNA to teach your cells how to fight the disease.
But Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says, no more of that.
On Tuesday,
he announced the cancellation of half a billion dollars in grants and contracts to help develop more of these kinds of vaccines.
And he says that's... good?
