"In recent weeks, academics who focus on improving the health of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer Americans have been subjected to waves of grant cancellations from the National Institutes of Health. More than 270 grants totaling at least $125 million of unspent funds have been eliminated, though the true sum is likely much greater, researchers told NBC News."
"There was also not enough time for scientists to properly shut down the laboratories before they were locked out from their email systems and the building, two CDC officials said, with equipment still running and hazardous materials left unattended."

Massive, Unarchivable #Datasets of #Cancer, #Covid, #HIV and #Alzheimer's Research Could Be Lost Forever
Days before RFK announced 10,000 #HHS staffers would lose their jobs, a message appeared on #NIH research repository sites saying they were "under review." Unlike other government datasets or web pages, downloading or otherwise archiving NIH data often requires a Data Use Agreement between a researcher institution and the agency.

Let me rephrase this headline for you: the new Mayor of San Francisco, a millionaire “gauche caviar”, is rolling back 30 years evidence-based #harmreduction policies to get drug users and drugs off the streets. #harmreduction has proven extremely effective in decreasing infections like #hiv or #hepC. What these people need is understanding the root cause of their use, often due to societal impact and #mentalhealth issues. Counseling without the rest doesn’t work. https://www.sfchronicle.com/sf/article/lurie-plans-drug-policy-shift-20255326.php

Is he actually trying to kill everyone?
If his goal was to kill everyone, I can't see what it is that he would do differently.
Does anyone know what RFK's endgame is, or even whether it is thought he has an end game?
Shouldn't we be calling all the senators who confirmed him, and asking them what are they going to do now?
“Tuberculosis is so often, and in so many ways, a disease of vicious cycles: It's an illness of #poverty that worsens poverty. It's an illness that worsens other illnesses from #HIV to #diabetes. It's an illness of weak #healthcare systems that weakens healthcare systems. It's an illness of malnutrition that worsens malnutrition. And it's an illness of the stigmatized that worsens #stigmatization. In the face of all this, it's easy to despair.” (p. 159)

Per a source with knowledge, the entire #HHS Office of #InfectiousDisease & #HIV / #AIDS Policy, or #OIDP, was just fired.
Tell me this is not all at the direction of #putin.
