🚨 BETHESDA JUST BLEW THE WHISTLE 🚨

For once, the revolt came from inside the house.

Over 700 scientists, doctors, and staffers at the actual NIH just called bullshit on the system they’ve spent their careers inside. They signed the Bethesda Declaration, and they’re done pretending the cancer industrial complex isn’t failing the people it's supposed to serve.

They’re saying out loud what patients and advocates have screamed for decades: incentives are broken, outcomes are rigged, and trust is circling the drain. They’re naming the names—PBMs, insurers, lobbyists—and they’re doing it from within the very institution that’s supposed to fix this mess.

The NIH didn’t issue this statement. Its people did. Voluntarily. Anonymously. Because they know speaking the truth inside a bureaucracy comes with risk.

It’s not a petition from MoveOn — It’s a mutiny from the heart of American cancer policy.

You know what makes it even more surreal? They’re echoing everything we’ve said on Out of Patients. The lived experience. The moral injury. The fatigue from watching innovation get strangled by admin bloat and profit-first policy.

This matters. Pay attention.

If this hit home, toss it a like, repost, comment, or tag someone you may be ambivalent about. One click makes a bigger difference than you think.
