There is no aborted fetus debris in the MMR vaccine, or in any vaccine at all.
It is worth noting that the Catholic Church, one of the most staunch anti-abortion organizations in the world, has a formal policy that encourages all vaccinations.

What can and may well happen to US science?
Well, prediction is hard, especially about the future, but this Nature report on science in Argentina under Trump's BFF Milei suggests one plausible outcome:
Even if we avoid total collapse (which seems likely to me) the damage will be huge and lasting.

A thread on what you can do to push back against the cuts to biomedical research at NIH.
My #Yale colleague Harlan Krumholz explains why the cuts to indirect costs are a disaster for biomedical research in the United States. Want to do something about it? I'll list those who have to hear from us below. Share, recruit friends and family to help. 1/ www.statnews.com/2025/02/08/n....
The NIH’s drastic cut to indirect cost rates is a critical threat to U.S. research infrastructure
The drastic reduction in indirect costs is not a path to innovation or cost savings — it’s a threat to U.S.’s position as global leader in medical research.
