My dad has a form of leukemia that would have killed him had one of these clinical trials not produced a brand new drug in the nick of time that essentially made him cancer free, against all expectations when he was diagnosed.

Johns Hopkins officials said the NIH funding cut puts at risk approximately 600 current and ongoing clinical trials at Hopkins, including open clinical trials in cancer, pediatrics and children’s health, heart and vascular studies and the aging brain. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/education/hi...

His MAGA and Repub sycophants want the poor poorer and willing to work and pay for their corporations, dying and distracted. Trump doesn’t care and gives them the green light.
