Jay Bhattacharya’s committee vote in the Senate is tomorrow at 10am.

Tell your Senators you want them to vote no. And tell your Stanford colleagues they can still speak out against Bhattacharya. His full Senate vote is likely next week.
It’s hard to think of worse picks.

Bhattacharya is literally every bit as dangerous as Kennedy. Don’t let Stanford pedigree fool you. He’s a conspiracy promoting COVID infection advocate who is allied with basically every major right-wing group wading into the public health space.

NIH has announced major cuts. Medical and scientific research across the country will be badly damaged, affecting America's ability to innovate well into the future.
Here are the 25 institutions that receive the most NIH funding (98% of HHS is NIH). Basically, they're large schools with large hospitals. They receive 50% of all NIH funding.
