Since the Musk administration has abandoned the federal government's responsibility in the health of world, we have to look for other sources of reliable health information. What are some others?

This link is to the American Medical Association's YouTube page.

Hopefully YouTube, which is owned by Google, will remain Musk-Trump policy influence free... at least for the time being.

That is simply not the case. These agencies are still in existence. You could argue "impacted" with some credibility but "abandoned" is an obvious inflammatory, headline grabbing exaggeration.

And your incomplete "the health of world" sentiment is provacative. I hope you were not about to postulate that the Taxpayers of USA are responsible for the health of the entire world population.

Not anywhere near as provocative as dumping NIH grants under the guise of LGBTQ and something as simple as indirect costs, and tossing out USAID which ships our food from US Farms, etc., and medicine to the world. Can't wait till y'all get to the VA.

Our President is not dumping all NIH grants forever. Phrasing it the way you do, IMHO, is another alarmist exaggeration, intended to generate anxiety in those susceptible.

BHM: That is simply not the case


Since when do you, BHM have a problem with provocative, inflammatory, headline grabbing exaggerations?? |
You voted for exactly that...and cheap eggs.

People are dying right now as some clinical trials have stopped cold...
Hard stopped.... appointments cancelled.

I have a friend with stage 4 pancreatic who 4 weeks ago was a candidate for a promising trial at UCLA....underwent a biopsy of a liver spot.... last week they told him 'sorry, on hold.'

They just wrote him a prescription for hydrocodone and that's it...

Fuck Elon, Fuck Trump, and fuck anybody so married to the cult they refuse to acknowledge the misery they are causing with blanket shut downs.

I'm sorry about your friend. At some point this may affect a lot of us. :(

Yeah. And not just the slowdown in medical research, lack of participation in world health (which impacts us all--there's no way around it in today's global world), and freezing of aid. Don't forget to throw in the trashing of environmental laws, increasing pollution in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat. That will hit us all as well.

Why? So the billionaires can make more money in their businesses, and pay less in taxes. Who needs a better reason than that?

Here’s another impact of the funding freeze - set backs in the fight against tuberculosis.

Just under 6 minutes
