From a doctor in Maryland who specializes in public health and infectious diseases:

"People travel across the country to participate in these trials, some lifesaving trials. The pause doesn’t just impact the researcher...it impacts the patients themselves, potentially life-threatening impacts."

Any country that does not have a democracy is ruled by thieves and thugs. But I never imagined a country anywhere would choose thieves and thugs in an open, fair election. We are not serious people.
