Elon Musk, that avatar or arrogance, is trashing the US Constitution. Trumpers, is this what you voted for? An end to America?

We are barely 3 weeks into this insanity. My entire department has been having a collective mental breakdown wondering if we can even do our work. How is this reality.

SCREAM LIKE A RACCOON IN A LAB COAT.
CDC staff have been forced to remove dozens of chronic health applications and to change open data sets that contain gender.
These are YOUR data and YOUR tools.
Be angry. Be LOUD.

This is horrifying. Researchers have shown conclusively that location can have a massive effect on health outcomes - whether it be from lack of access to care, environmental factors, or high population density. This data is incredibly valuable for things like predicting the spread of a virus.
It appears that the Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) page has been removed from the CDC website.
The SVI is an important database that measures and quantifies the potential negative effects of disasters of human health at the county level.

The study parameters as described here are, at best, extremely hand wavey. This real scientist believes vaccines are the best way to protect yourself and others from vaccine preventable diseases!
Here is the study that RFKjr referenced in his hear today to justify a new vaccine schedule. This goes against what he said an hour ago btw. And the pic is the disclaimer of the study parameters. Any real scientists would read that and keep fucking walking. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

As someone whose entire career relies on NIH/NCI funding, I can say with confidence that the fear and confusion has also spread outside of the agency 😵💫
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health say the Trump administration's restrictions have spread fear and confusion throughout the agency.

Freezing NIH funding means that critical research into treatments for Alzheimer's and cancer, new vaccines against potential emerging viruses *ahem*, and much more is going to slow and potentially stop if the situation does not resolve.
The Trump administration has canceled meetings and frozen hiring at the NIH.

Aside from the egg prices increasing (which will continue to happen), there has now been AT LEAST one reported human death from H5N1 in the U.S. Definitely the best time to silence the CDC and pull us out of the WHO... ldh.la.gov/news/H5N1-de...
