I take care of children who DIE of conditions that we can’t prevent and that despite our very best efforts we cannot cure.
The fact that CHILDREN DIE of diseases that can be completely eradicated with safe and effective vaccines makes me LIVID.

This is what amounts to an ILLEGAL & indiscriminate funding cut for research centers everywhere. It will mean shuttering labs across the country, layoffs in red & blue states, and derailing lifesaving research on everything from cancer to opioid addiction.
We all need to speak out to save lives.

NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.
Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions

I know it’s obvious, but I think it’s still worth saying out loud:
Someone who wants to end fact checking wants to be able to lie to you without detection.
When lies are undetected, they start to shape our reality. We’re a lot more vulnerable when we can’t tell that a lie is a lie.

My friends in the Dementia world. Please read this and consider what the effects on healthcare for people with Alzheimer’s disease in England would have been if NICE had approved lecanemab and donanemab for NHS use. And, of course, they don’t have clinical efficacy, anyway!

Population-health impact of new drugs recommended by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence in England during 2000–20: a retrospective analysis
During 2000–20, NHS coverage of new drugs displaced more population health than it generated. Our results highlight the inherent trade-offs between individuals who directly benefit from new drugs and those who forgo health due to the reallocation of resources towards new drugs.
