I'm looking to see if the cuts & chaos at CDC and NIH have affected any clinical trials or research for drugs for the treatment of cancer, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or other serious diseases. If you know anything, please contact me at DavidCorn.99 at Signal. Or if you have any other good stories.

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

NEW: The N.I.H. will cut about $4 Billion from federal research grants that support cancer, virus and heart disease research. #Project2025 called for the cuts to end subsidies to "leftist" university agendas. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/u...

This is how it’s done. Dr. Jack Turban is resigning after the NCAA announced it is banning transgender athletes from women’s sports.

I read this on dark days for a little solace.

The H5N1 is mutating and spreading. The new D1.1 genotype, which is more dangerous to humans, has been found in dairy herds in Nevada. The risk of an H5N1 pandemic is rising.

The impending shutdown of USAID is unconstitutional and reveals complete ignorance or indifference to how vital its work -- in global health, conflicts, disasters and beyond -- is to Americans and humanity. abcnews.go.com/US/video/elo...

Yes, this is called for.

So now women don’t exist in history at all?
