"Angry, disappointed, frustrated"--Scientists were making progress on vaccines and antivirals for the next pandemic--until this week, when the Trump administration abruptly told them to stop. Here's my story with @apoorvanyt.bsky.social Gift link: nyti.ms/43Xz77q

The NIH plans to resume posting notices of new solicitations for grant proposals. But there’s a catch: The HHS and DOGE will review each draft notice to ensure the research that will be funded aligns with the priorities of President Trump’s administration, Science has learned. scim.ag/3DJsafL

Currently, NIH's Center for Scientific Review reviews 66,000 grant applications a year, with panels run by NIH’s separate institutes reviewing the rest. Under a new plan, the institute-run panels will be eliminated, and many of the scientists overseeing them will be laid off. scim.ag/3QP0FUG

A good diet won’t do it. Exercise won’t do it. Supplements won’t do it. Raw milk won’t do it. The only thing that prevents measles is a vaccine.

There are now 198 cases of measles in the Texas outbreak with no end in sight. Two human beings including one child have died, and 23 have been hospitalized. Meanwhile the HHS Secretary continues to cast doubt on the one thing that prevents measles, the MMR vaccine. This is a damned disgrace.

Please don’t even come here and suggest that RFK Jr. has little to do with the measles outbreak in TX. He has been spreading misinformation about MMR vaccine specifically for two decades. He is the reason that many parents don’t vaccinate their kids. And he still refuses to strongly promote MMR.
