Zeroing out $500M of funding is quite the hammer. It doesn’t seem like there is very much private money going into these efforts. There is no law against funding private research or against the development of the mRNA platform.

That's my point. There is no law against the mRNA platform, and there should be, at a bare minimum, super strict restrictions or guidelines on such a devastating technology. And I mean devastating on the recipient's immune system behalf. I am witness to that very fact every single day in my immediate rural entourage.

You need to take that up with Congress. That’s where they make laws.

Indeed. That's why it's never going to get done. It gets diluted along the way by too many divergent opinions on the subject, not to mention all the paid and bought said opinions as well. Never going to get done, even if you petition Congress until you're blue in the face.
