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.

The legaleze doesn't matter. The chaos is what matters.
People move on. Programs shutter.
This is still a land with laws, even if the Ahole is pretending it isn't. Scary thing is the media seem to be going along with it. So we have to speak up and fight back.

Social distancing is a proven method since the EU PLAGUE. vaccines + since1907. Hitler was the #1 medical Misinformation promoter during SpanishFlu...because the rich have doctors and medicines...many of us can't afford 🙄
Just one R01 can bring in 750k.
