There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

One easy way to know if you should support cuts to Medicaid is to ask yourself if you want your nearest hospital to be open or closed next time you need it. Then repeat the question substituting “Emergency Department,” “Trauma Center,” “Stroke Center,” “Cardiac Cath Lab,” etc.

The current President is taking bribes from anyone who’ll offer them but I’m so glad Alex Thompson and Jake Tapper are not letting that distract them from the fact that the former President who just got diagnosed with cancer is also old.

… and Molly is not alone. More than $2.6B of ongoing research has been canceled (with much more this week, at Harvard).
With each cancellation: We are losing so much knowledge. Losing the next generation of scientists. Losing our ability to protect our health, both now & for the future. 🧪🩺😷

All 4 of my NIH research grants are terminated. These were grants on MDR-TB treatment & strategies for supporting adolescents living w/ HIV. This is a massive waste of resources. I am heartbroken for my Harvard team, my partners in Peru, the next generation of scientists & our country. Shame.

Death rates in pregnancy DOUBLED during 2020-2021, and there are mountains of evidence showing COVID infection leads to significantly worse outcomes for pregnancy & baby. There are also mountains of evidence showing COVID vaccination has no adverse effects on pregnancy or baby but does protect them.

Gélineau advanced the term "narcolepsy" in 1880 while de la Tourette described his eponymous syndrome in 1885. "Autism" was coined by Bleuler in 1911, with full diagnoses soon after.

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992.
Was there a breast cancer epidemic?!
NO.
Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976.

So the White House wants to pay women $5,000 to have a baby, which doesn’t even cover the doctor’s fee, with the potential of being charged with murder if they have a miscarriage.

Trump has gutted food inspection programs at the FDA and USDA — including the committee that investigated last year's fatal Boar's Head listeria outbreak.
The USDA is also rolling back safety regulations to “streamline” meat processing.
