I hear there are stories coming, but putting the brakes on our country’s world-leading medical research system feels like a five alarm fire and I don’t see a newspaper that even has it on the front page yet

Shutting down medical research — not just within NIH, but everywhere that’s funded by NIH — will have long-term effects on medicine & short-term effects on state, higher education & hospital budgets. This affects all of us, not just researchers.

-DOJ freezes all cases in civil rights division.
-J6 pardons.
the chaos is everywhere.
not good. .
Is it just a mechanism for him to show how compassionate he is when he reinstates it?
Which is why the problem is never getting fixed as long as the arsonist is in charge (2/2)
They're trying to use the media to muffle outrage and dissent.

They just won't allow the rest of us to get it thanks to RFK Jr.
They are trying to cull us.
It didn’t work out for him, but he was a fictional nobleman, not an oligarch.
Is the funding for medical research cut at the NIH?
Source please, and thank you.
If you’ve been directly impacted by a pause or cancellation of an NIH study session, we @forbes.com would like to talk to you
When the new admin cancels NIH study sections it means the US human health and biomedical science pipeline dries up, programs in all 50 states are impacted, and global leadership in research and development is threatened because of new administration restrictions.

The few bucks they save by doing this, they will waste on their concentration camps.
Literally destroying something good to make something evil.
Also biotech Gen Z's are especially blocked as they try to advance.
Top-shelf work, MAGA-nutbars.
money from our country. Or will it go to fund Elon’s spaceship to Mars.
Significant hit to jobs and GDP.
(I’m not opposed to crit of MSM usually; I just think this week is different)
I'm starting to think most Americans already don't feel like the concept of the US exists and we're just pretending
There needs to be a morning run down podcast.
And then people don’t blink at the cuts to research into disabling diseases.
Slap some religious zealotry on that & it’s “God’s Will Be Done”
I don't want to hear from an idiot like Trump who is going to throw feces against the wall, or even from a well meaning Biden who isn't going to 1/2
I wish more journalists thought of the profession as more of a higher calling
We have iNnOvAtIoN!
Not anymore I guess!
CBS fired a meteorologist for her personal remarks, pointing out the neo- nazi salute by musk.
“Everybody down. Do exactly as we say and no one gets hurt.”
These fukers have no souls!
Probably to reroute funds to pharma corporations' in-house research, or into some other money-making scheme pulled out of RFK Jr's ass.
I’d rather get my news from a sewer than read it.
They asked me to come back for a dollar. I laughed.

The Topeka Capital-Journal
Kansas tuberculosis outbreak is now America's largest in recorded history
Story by Jason Alatidd, Topeka Capital-Journal
But yeah, it's rather disheartening.
If research stops, vaccination rules get relaxed or abandoned and a pandemic breaks out (e.g. H5N1), all other countries will be well-advised to immediately shutdown all traffic from US.
If they are clever, they already prepare for this case.
Also, as mentioned elsewhere, they probably will have access to vaccines, in doubt they get those from outside.
The problem is always the U.S. is thoroughly enmeshed with many countries from an intelligence and military standpoint. Those are things countries can't let go by the wayside.
So forget about Europe, which is the only place he cares about.
I meant, in a racist sense, he values only the *idea* of Europe as top of a hierarchy of good/OK and not being Black/Asian/Arab etc.
If Brazil closed borders, he'd use a racist slur. If London blocks Americans, he'll be angry but won't malign Brits qua Brits.
It's going to be very hard to stop him. In the first few days, he is attacking so many institutions. We have our hands full.
This will kill mothers, fathers, daughters, and sons.
He is a monster.
I was stuck in a graduate program with those kinds of "thinkers". They'd rather pray for cancer victims than cure them.
I gave up research and worked on our acute palliative care on the onc unit. It’s different experience with one’s own family member to care for.
They want to turn NIH into block grants to the states.
There are five alarm fires across the entire plan!

I have a neighbor down the road whose child has cancer. They probably voted for Trump. WTH
