You don't need gas chambers if you choke the systems and resources that are literally keeping people alive. 6/6

This doesn't even include the the cuts or threats of cuts to universities as a whole and how they may end up adjusting (lowering the quality of) requirements to try to bring students back in over the next couple of years to combat the worsening staffing shortages. (quality of clinicians) 5/6

It is a multilevel hit.
Multiply this by every medical research center in the US and then every physician who cannot access critical information that they used to be able to access for treating their patients, and those that will now NOT be going into advanced medical programs..... 4/6

Cuts *also mean revoking applications of students coming into medical fields* because there are not enough research opportunities to support the numbers. The implications of that in a country where we already are experiencing shortages of medical professionals is also catastrophic. 3/6

I will include a link in the last thread to a thread that a researcher breaks down -in detail- all of the things that got cut ... just from her research center. 2/6

Good question!

6/6 As of right now, there is no set date for RFK Jr.'s confirmation hearing.

This in addition to hiring freezes on these agencies and the agency that staffs Veterans Hospitals and Clinics. When you allow understaffing of healthcare facilities… medical incidents (and unnecessary deaths) WILL rise.

5/6 The pause orders meant that health data information is no longer flowing from these agencies — meaning that they'll be crippled in some instances and most definitely if a health crisis breaks out.

4/6 Staffers have been ordered by the administration to halt all external communications which include health advisories, social media posts, the publication of *crucial scientific reports*, and *any and all website updates* until RFK Jr. assumes control.

3/6 This administration is putting every. single. American. in immediate danger by putting ALL federal health agencies on hold until Health Secretary nominee RFK Jr. gets a confirmation hearing.

Playing politics with our lives through political blackmail...

2/6 Things like what strains of MRSA are trending in geographic regions that help physicians determine what antibiotic they should be starting a patient on.
