The alternative to naloxone (Narcan) for a fentanyl overdose outside a healthcare facility - where almost all of them in this country occur - is death. Dead people don’t recover. Fentanyl overdose is the leading cause of death for Americans 18-44. Every single fentanyl overdose death is preventable.

The US government doesn't subsidize university research. Rather, universities subsidize government research. I've seen recent threads deceiving the first half of this, but nothing recent describing the extent to which universities are doing the subsidizing.

My ancestors crossed the Atlantic three centuries ago and I am an American in the exact same way as the infant child of undocumented immigrants born here yesterday. There is no difference between us, their right to this country no less than mine. We are entirely equal and I will accept nothing else.

It was deadly scandals involving things like 'swill milk', patent medicines including actual snake oil, and tainted food that led to the creation of today's FDA. With less oversight of the things we eat and drink, it is only a matter of time before we deeply regret these cuts.

This is incredibly cool: if you search for a condition that’s affected your family, the site returns stats on how much NIH has done for that disease, and a contact form for reaching out to tell your Members of Congress why you want to see them defend NIH. Pass it on!

this may be because I am restricting my consumption of news media in a mostly futile effort to preserve sanity but I feel like politicians are really not connecting/messaging that health is instrumentalized as a foundation for freedom, a central tenet under which this entire country is founded

This is, weirdly, the most purely fascist shit anyone in the administration has said so far - Your health is an asset of the fatherland - Illness is a failure or a moral failing - You have a duty to maintain your health - Healthcare is not a right, it's a finite resource - Die for the fatherland

In terminating hundreds of NIH grants, the Trump administration dumped years of investment down the drain. In my latest @opinion.bloomberg.com column, we analyzed the cancelled projects & talked to scientists to understand just how much the public loses out. It's a lot: tinyurl.com/bdey86su

Ok so yeah, this has quickly become the #1 misunderstanding about the canceled grants the grants are not “subsidies” or “entitlements” to Harvard or Princeton or whatever they aren’t going into universities’ endowments they are competitive contracts won by these universities to do research

The government isn't doing universities a favor by channeling federal funding through them. It's using a private entity to realize public goals, to accomplish things that benefit the entire nation. You'd think conservatives who call for privatization all the time would grasp that.
