This lying monster.

NIH created and funded therapies his own daughter with cystic fibrosis benefits from.
TAPPER: 14 Republicans say you're risking undermining critical research by holding up NIH funding

VOUGHT: If they were a company, their stock price would in shambles. They in some respects caused the pandemic. You have an entire institute that does nothing more than DEI research at the NIH.

RFK Jr. is threatening the routine childhood immunization schedule. This is bad. We all need to be paying attention.

Get loud. Stay loud.

J6ers want a participation medal…
Multiple Jan 6 defendants have filed legal motions asking that the legally-required Jan 6 honorary plaque at US Capitol also include ... a "recognition" of the "experiences" of the Jan 6 defendants ===>

That over budget line is equivalent to 400 5-year biomedical research grants.

Almost all Nobel Prizes are awarded for work that is exploratory, or absolutely basic science with no obvious commercial or medical benefit.

You cannot predict where advancements come from, so you have to invest in science and scientists.

Targeted (corporate) science investment will never do this.
Reminder: Nobel-prize winning PCR (1983), used in basically all genetic tech today, was only possible because of extremophile bacterium discovered in 1964 in Yellowstone funded by a small ~$80k NSF grant with no obvious application at the time. #science 🧪

*At least* $95 billion.

The return on investment from NIH dollars is one of the best there is.

Also: I personally like the benefits from modern medical technology, dental care, ophthalmological care, and more I am sure as I age.
New report shows that NIH grants fueled $95 billion in economic activity and 407,782 jobs in 2024.

That's not to mention the countless lives that biomedical research has saved.

Show me a better investment than that.

WR Don Hutson (1935-45) played 11 yrs & won the WR triple crown 5 times (4 in a row). He owns 31% of all 16 WR triple crowns. In his 11 seasons he led the NFL in catches 8 times, rec yards 7 times, and rec TDs 9 times. 1st or 2nd Team All-Pro all 11 yrs. The GOAT not named Jerry Rice. #NFL #Packers
