You maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell

The NIH is one of the last things in this country that actually works—and is being gutted by political hacks.

Science isn’t supposed to be partisan. But here we are, watching Trump’s cronies and Musk’s fanboys burn it to the ground. Scientists are being forced out. Research grants are being killed because they don’t align with whatever conspiracy-riddled fever dream passes for policy now.

It's a bureaucratic shake-up deliberately sabotaging medical progress, making sure the next pandemic hits harder. That cancer research slows down. That lifesaving drugs don’t get discovered. That the people doing real work are replaced with yes-men who’ll bow to billionaires and extremists.

Whomever you voted for, I hope you didn’t vote for **this.** Because this isn’t just bad policy—it’s **a direct attack on your health, your future, and your family.**

You should be pissed off. Really pissed off. Because the people doing this don’t care if you live or die. But they sure as hell expect you to keep paying your taxes while they gut the very institutions meant to keep you alive.

Every single person who cheered for this should be forced to explain themselves to the patients who will suffer for it.
