This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.
I would be making a big deal out of this if I were an elected Democrat
NIH scientists have a cancer breakthrough. Layoffs are delaying it.
A big step forward in cancer therapy has been slowed by layoffs and new restrictions at the National Institutes of Health, where it was developed.

It is difficult to convey how monumentally idiotic Trump’s tariffs are.

I won't be there because I was denied entry to the United States.
They refused to say why; my best guess is some combo of the inauguration, politics, Palestine, and maybe, a new normal.
