Not just the people of the USA we will all suffer. Science involves International co-operation without that then advances in scientific knowledge stalls

I highly recommend Peter Hotez’ „The deadly rise of Antiscience“. It’s eye opening. https://www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/33293/deadly-rise-anti-science?srsltid=AfmBOoqBpQH9IEcSwHlnH39SqHjslax4BjVGR087qZO8d7fT1SWualgv

It isn’t mistrust of science. Despots do trust science. They just don’t like scientists contradicting their populist pronouncements. All the fact based professions are under attack. Clears the way for only one source of truth.
