Best government money can buy......

It only took them 15 years to come up with a plan....

A reminder to Netflix and Warner Bros./Disney. The Trump Administration accepts multiple forms of payment including cash, credit card, or crypto. 😉

Rumor has it "inaugural peace prizes" will also be viewed favorably...

The U.S. Is Funding Fewer Grants in Every Area of Science and Medicine A quiet policy change means the government is making fewer bets on long-term science.

In the past decade, the U.S. National Institutes of Health awarded top scientists $9 billion in competitive grants each year, to find cures for diseases and improve public health. Starting in January, the Trump administration will stall that funding.

They’ve laid off so many people that the government is now getting its economic data from DoorDash.

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

Good....acceptance and retraction are based on peer review...not conspiracy fantasy.

Exclusive: Medical journal rejects Kennedy's call for retraction of vaccine study An influential U.S. medical journal is rejecting a call from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to retract a large Danish study that found that aluminum ingredients in vaccines do not increase health risks for children, the journal's editor told Reuters.

Great job Annals of Internal Medicine!! Keep telling this heroin brain damaged trust fund deadbeat ambulance chaser to pound sand.

Proof that money cant buy good taste...

Petty cheating at golf is a window into his rotted soul.

I mean it is the administration of the lowest of lows.

More actual science refuting our current HHS secretary. A study of over one million Danish children, shows NO EVIDENCE supporting an increased risk for autoimmune, atopic or allergic, or neurodevelopmental disorders associated with early childhood exposure to vaccines with aluminum-base adjuvants.

Cool paper, I appreciate how they compare observed vs expected breadth of coverage.

Missing phylogenetics, could be very interesting to genotype and/or assemble some of these pathogens if coverage is high enough
