It's especially shitty because getting NIH funding is already highly competitive and trying to convince experts that your research is relevant and important enough for funding is already stressful enough without billionaires cutting funding because they ain't understand any of it - ThreadSky

I’m so sorry you have to deal with all of this hun, I can’t believe what fucking assholes are running this country rn and putting people like you under so much distress.

Not to mention that hospitals and any other public health institutions are also taking hits, pushing healthcare out of reach for millions who could barely access it to begin with. Without scientific evidence to guide clinical practice, caregivers are failing their patients before even seeing them.

Yeah, it's even more trash for people on the receiving end of a lot of these healthcare issues, it's painful to be deserving of care but suddenly denied access because someone doesn't think it's worth it

Especially when those issues are *entirely* preventable and/or manageable with proper treatment. When all someone can do is wait for death from an infection because vaccine research was defunded? Heartbreaking.

Yeah, I feel this. It’s scary.

yeah it's been rough for sure, I'm sorry it's something you're having to deal with too.
