My theory: it’s an attack on inconvenient facts. Any information that doesn’t directly come from dear leader is a potential threat to dear leader because it’s beyond the leader’s control, so if the goal is to rule, go after any threats to your rule. That includes medical research. 1/

I'm struggling to understand why Trump and Musk are conducting an all-out siege on American medical research. I understand the corrupt and/or ideological reasons for a lot of the other things they're doing, but the systematic assault on NIH et al feels like destruction purely for destruction's sake.
