Think of it as an anti-science Cultural (War) Revolution as much as a fascist takeover.
The mob want Fauci's blood and Trump may well incite them to another January 6 attack

This is particularly boneheaded.

The new administration is xenophobic.

Researchers can still follow the draft guidance, he has simply deleted the website. It's just meaningless posturing, it doesn't mean RCTs are going to be de-diversified.

I have yet to see corporations developing medical products go beyond what they are required to do in order to get product on the market and bring in the $$$$. It is why FD&C Act and agency guidance exists. I hope we see what you are hoping for.

It's worse than it looks on the surface. I live among the fundie evangelicals who make up his base and a lot of them are committed to faith healing. Had a friend whose uncle suffered a heart attack and suffered for 3 days with no medical help before dying at home . . .

. . . and years later, my friend died of untreated ovarian cancer. God's will . . . really fucking sucks.

People in the scientific community contradicted sometimes even mocked Trump openly during 1.0.
He’s bound and determined that that won’t happen again in 2.0.
The message is what he says it is.
