We nee to throw a few of them in jail so they can learn something of consequences.
I'm no insider but we can look at the policy and make some educated guesses.
Two possibilities seem particularly like to me. The first is that the DEI language is inadmissible.
The second is that the policy offers too many protections.
The NIH states that in rescinding their policy, they will fall back on the HHS policy.
The HHS policy is very similar to the NIH policy, and presumably the NIH policy was adapted from it.
Many current actions at NIH and HHS more broadly are currently in violation of the NIH and HHS scientific integrity policies.

A lot of it is removal of "inclusivity" "equity" and all mentions of DEIA

If they rescind the Belmont Report that’s when I’ll assume Mengele wannabes have taken over.

The Tuskegee Syphilis Study may look like ethical science in comparison to the eugenics nonsense I expect to start hearing again.
The vigilance of the research community can’t get complacent.
