Funny, how MAGA is *outraged* over someone who is simply a Muslim in the New York City mayor's mansion, but has no comment about a Muslim who is an actual murderer in the White House.

We've got a MASSIVE DEEP-DIVE rebuttal to the NIH leadership’s recent essay. They're arguing for a head-in-the-sand approach to pandemic preparedness.

Yes. This is another reason why public funding is what we want - why the government should support science with democratic mechanisms of oversight.
Public support means not having to beg toxic billionaires for money.
