This is heartbreaking. But not an unfamiliar feeling for my science colleagues and my own lab who burnt the midnight oil 24/7 studying COVID immunity to understand how to protect American lives during the pandemic. Nonsensical, performative betrayal. No one will actually benefit and people will die.

One thing that does not get enough attention I think in all these dialogues is the persistent attempt to dichotomize infectious diseases and chronic illnesses. - HPV and Hepatitis B are major causes of cancer. - Many viruses can trigger dilated cardiomyopathy in genetically susceptible people.

Academic institutions rely on indirect funds from NIH grants. Deans, provosts, presidents, start calling congressional reps and lead the way on pushback here. This will be reversed.

Great call by the US CDC. Invasive pneumococcal disease is common and deadly. Newer vaccines are highly effective, and also have important herd (indirect) effects because they prevent bacterial carriage.

NIH funding is why the U.S. has a biomedical industry. The research at universities is crucial for new drug development. Doing this research as students is how we train researchers who go on to work in the private sector. Also funding medical schools is pretty important for training new doctors.
