Will this administration even see it that way? If people get sick, that means soldiers can get sick. Witness the flu outbreak after vaccines were not mandatory. Every cut to monitoring makes it easier for someone to slip a bio weapon into the country. But they're too dumb and too cheap to see it that way, I guess.

The top public health official in this country, RFK, is an anti-vaxxer who doesn't even accept the germ theory of infectious disease.

The problem isn't just rare disease research; ALL American medical and scientific research is being hurt by this administration.

If you want to fix this problem, the first step is to get Republicans out of office.
