I think some people hear “grants” and think that without them, scientists and government workers just have less stuff to play with at work. But grants fund salaries for students, academics, researchers, and people who work in all areas of public service.
“Pausing” grants means people don’t eat.

Good public health is invisible. People tend not to notice the absence of disease.

Good Public Health Is Invisible
It’s only when things go wrong that you notice it. It looks like people will really notice public health in the United States quite soon.
