General Discussion

The partnership between the U.S. government and research institutions was giving the whole world discovery after discovery. We're right on the edge of amazing new ways of approaching diseases.

All crushed by Trump, Musk, and RFK, Jr. I'm certain that their motive is profit. They think their companies can do the same work and then sell it, unlike the open-source free model for scientific discoveries we've used in the U.S. They are wrong. At best China will step in and take over research, and then sell the discoveries. We thought health care was expensive now. Wait ten years.

It's a global tragedy, one of the most spectacular disasters in human history. No exaggeration.
