Hmmmm. So, 25% of the US doctors are foreign-trained, and most of them at some point of their career require H1B visa. I don't know how many doctors with active licenses require H1B visa currently, but this is really stupid 👇🏻
Trump to impose new $100,000 fee for H-1B visas in sweeping overhaul: Report - The Economic Times

I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

🧪 Cutting NIH funding has consequences OUTSIDE our borders. $$ invested in clinical trials is wasted.
Curtailing funding for foreign components on NIH grants has real consequences. Broader participation in clinical trials means broader applicability of cures. And for rare diseases, there may not be enough eligible patients in the US alone. Ending foreign components will harm patients in the US.
