Peter Marks, a top vaccine official at FDA, has resigned after threats to resign or be fired.
Marks stood up "Operation Warp Speed" during COVID to expedite delivery of safe vaccines.
This is a huge loss to the field. How many more heroes will we lose as science continues to be eroded?

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has suggested allowing bird flu to spread, so as to identify birds that may be immune. Veterinary scientists said that would be inhumane, dangerous and have enormous economic consequences.

The health secretary has suggested allowing the virus to spread, so as to identify birds that may be immune. Such an experiment would be disastrous, scientists say.

I hope folks understand what’s happening here. Some in the administration view concentration camps inside the US as *maybe* a bridge too far.
So they’re starting with Guantanamo Bay, away from prying eyes and 24/7 coverage.

Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.
I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.

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

Why won' the media call out GOP lies?
Trump is throwing a fit over Biden selling off border wall materials.
The joke here is that this is all due to a GOP-supported bill that FORCED Biden to sell these materials to the states.
