If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

Conan: You know, Anora is having a good night. That's great news. Two wins already. I guess Americans are excited to see somebody finally stand up to a powerful Russian.

They’re going to cut $880 billion from Medicaid-so they can give tax cuts to the rich
They’re gutting the CDC staff which protects us from an epidemic
And they’re slashing funds for cancer research
Thousands of people are going to die
NOBODY voted for this
Hands off my Medicaid

Another 1-2 million cases of Long Covid (and related to my specialty, POTS/dysautonomia & autonomic dysfunction) are expected this year, if not far more, and it is absolutely imperative we maintain NIH funding so that we can continue to find answers/treatment(s).

To all my fellow prescriber/working-in-healthcare friends out there- this article (towards the end of it) lists a bunch of great resources to turn to for things that used to be clearly stated by Federal agencies: www.medscape.com/viewarticle/...

People will lose their lives because of this. This literally hurts millions of Americans. Everyone working in science & medicine (including myself) will be directly affected by this, and without a sensible rationale, at that: www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately
The move halts a large slice of money for most universities and research institutions virtually overnight, imperiling vital research in everything from cancer to heart disease.

I asked RFK Jr. a simple question:
If things keep going at this rate, we will start "bringing back" and worsening the spread of multiple infectious diseases that people have conveniently forgotten about, thanks to prior public health infrastructure and vaccine schedules. This is a war against science, medicine, & public health.
