Trump and Musk cut off public funding for cancer research as "wasteful and fraudulent." Now labs in another country will take over and their companies will profit.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at The Jackson Laboratory and UConn Health have successfully discovered a molecular switch that can actually SHUT DOWN cancer growth signals and STOP tumor growth at the RNA LEVEL. The discovery could pave the way for a groundbreaking RNA-based multi-cancer treatment. 🧪🧵⬇️

"Research costs money" is the same broken corporate mentality that took Boeing from the apex of American ingenuity to a national embarassment.

This really hurts. I’m in remission and am a member of Biden’s Mission Against Cancer. I sadly won’t be expecting to be hearing from them. I’m good, but was really hoping to help others. Stupid shit

Republican politicians see disease as extremely profitable. Never forget their greed.

It's like an old estate sale. Our rich, elderly democracy died. Everything must go.

Musk cut off the funds because he's trying to slow down research while he looks for a way to use AI to claim ownership and monetize the cure for cancer for himself.

Just today I saw an ad during the men's NCAA tournament that said Trump would end cancer! I didn't catch who sponsored the ad, I was too dumbfounded.

A cure for cancer would mean the end for Trump and Musk.
They’re are a cancer to the world.

And, really, who wants to do business and conduct research in a failed state?

Big Pharma will not be happy to be usurped by Big Tech
