There are a half-dozen ways or more that Trump is demonstrably hobbling cancer research.
• world-renown researchers being deported
• scientists choosing to leave
• direct cuts to #NIH, National Cancer Inst & the CDMRP (a Dept of DEF research program)
• university grant & Medicaid cuts crippling hospitals
Pro-cancer moves!
Amplify the atrocities, many Americans don't understand the lethal consequences.

The American Prospect · The Trump Administration Is Objectively Pro-CancerAmerica used to have the best medical research system in the world. Elon Musk and RFK Jr. are ripping it to shreds.
The #NIH is the primary federal agency for biomedical and public health research. It was formally established in 1930 but became a major research powerhouse after WWII, in line with Vannevar Bush’s Science, The Endless Frontier.

…Ms. Waters, who recently co-wrote a #Heritage report on infertility.… has proposed directing the #NIH to expand its study of infertility & reproductive health conditions, including endometriosis. She has also proposed using govt funds to…*educate* #women on their #MenstrualCycles & their “natural fertility,” such as cycle-charting courses that many conservative #Christian women use to try to prevent pregnancy without using birth control [idiotic].

The Baltimore Banner · Letter: Cuts to research put focus on politics, not scienceJudy Stone, M.D., an infectious disease specialist, says the Trump administration’s cuts to scientific research will cost jobs harm critical studies.

The Guardian · RFK Jr’s autism study collecting Americans’ private medical records
Hey, I don’t want to alarm anyone, but....we should all be alarmed. This kind of tracking is how the Nazis were able to kidnap and hide the fact that they were murdering differently abled children, well before the camps were built.
The National Institutes of Health is amassing private medical records from a number of federal and commercial databases to give to Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s new effort to study #autism, the #NIH's top official said Monday.
In addition, a new disease registry is being launched to track Americans with autism, ....
Between 10 and 20 outside groups of researchers will be given grant funding and access to the records to produce Kennedy's autism studies. Bhattacharya did not give details on how they would be chosen, ...."

Jay Bhattacharya is the Director of the National Institutes of Health.
He's also someone who cried "Censorship!" because someone called out his misinformation. Now the government he has joined is firing people for speaking the truth, and he is silent about it.
Science-Based Medicine · Dr. Jay Bhattacharya: You Work for an Administration That Runs a Vast Censorship Regime to Suppress Scientific Discussion. Most Authoritarian Policy I’ve Seen From an American Government. You Should be Ashamed of Yourself.Imagine if the fate of Tweets and YouTube vidoes was the sole concern of scientists today.
