"The number one lesson that Donald Trump took from the pandemic on his watch is that it was bad for him politically. For him, utter ignorance was preferable to public information panic and preparedness. Kennedy is the mad bad tool implementing that lesson now in his powerful position running the nation's health agencies right into the ground."

I have a friend at CBC in Toronto who wants to interview US medical researchers thinking of or planning a move to Canada. Lemme know if you want to talk to her.
In order to create a superposition state, quantum particles must be cooled to just above absolute zero. Innsbruck physicists have now succeeded in realizing “hot Schrödinger cats” - which are, of course, still very cold

"Survey data gathered by AHRQ provides much of what is known about hospitalizations for motor accidents, measles, methamphetamine, and thousands of other medical issues.
'Nobody does these things except AHRQ,' she said. 'They’re all we’ve got. And now the barn door’s closed.'”

75% of U.S. scientists who answered @NatureNewsteam poll consider leaving the country. Many said they were looking for jobs in Europe and Canada.
#Cancer, #Covid, & #Alzheimers #Research Could Be Lost Forever
Days before #RFKJr announced that 10,000 #HHS staffers would lose their jobs, a message appeared on #NIH research repository sites saying they were "under review."

I have just published a very detailed (lengthy) article on both my eirenicon & ManyRoads websites, entitled:

The #Senate Cmte on #Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions invited #RFKJr to attend a hearing next week to explain the firings. The committee is chaired by Republican U.S. Senator & physician #BillCassidy of Louisiana, whose vote was key to Kennedy's confirmation.
#Trump layoffs begin to erode #FDA drug review system
The Trump admin's #MassFirings at the FDA have removed employees critical to reviewing new #medicines, setting back years of effort to bring promising #treatments to #patients more quickly.
The FDA is slated to lose 3,500 employees under Secy of #HHS #RFKJr's massive *restructuring* of US #health agencies….

No plan—not his *MAHA* agenda, not efficiency, nothing—can realistically explain cuts like these. Instead, the #MassFirings don’t seem to be a means to an end on the way to overhauling American #health. They are an end in themselves.
It’ll take months, if not years, to fully appreciate the effect that the cuts will have on America’s scientific enterprise.
the director of the National Institute of #ChildHealth & Human Development [#NICHD], the director of the #NIH’s Division of #Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, the director of the National Institute of #Nursing #Research [#NINR], & the director of the National Institute on Minority Health & Health Disparities [#NIMHD].
…#RFKJr, an #AntiVaccine advocate, seems to have targeted more than just the most pro-#vaccine voices in the govt. During his confirmation hearings, Kennedy said he would “empower the scientists” as #health secy, but here are just a few of the MDs & PhDs who were reportedly targeted yesterday:
Even before he took office, #RFKJr warned #health ofcls that they should pack their bags, & on Tues, he defended the cuts: “What we’ve been doing isn’t working,” RFKJr posted. He [says he] is focused on “realigning #HHS w/its core mission: to stop the chronic #disease epidemic & Make America Healthy Again.” But instead of improving how the federal health bureaucracy works, RFKJr is throwing his agencies into #chaos.
#RFKJr Is Out for Revenge
By Nicholas Florko
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is finally getting his wish of sucker-punching the federal #health agencies. This week, Kennedy began the process of firing some 10k employees working under the #HHS umbrella.

Tariffs are not just bad for the world economy, but also for science. This is one more hit to research.
