Not enough people take seriously "funding delays"/"bureaucratic nonsense can kill people" but here it is right here. If I was mad when a patient died because it took a few extra months for lawyers to try to look for a legal basis for an international data transfer, I'm incandescent, now.

As always, excellent reporting by @melodyschreiber.com. I have *so much* to say about all this. But let me say this: I've worked with medical record data for research and LMAO, LMFAO even...this is why we need qualified scientists in charge of our scientific institutions.

On top of this not only are they hoarding the gold, they are STEALING from programs & funding that is meant to save lives & support those who need it the most. What's the definition of evil again?...

Around 4:30, I heard Jon Lorsch had approval to turn the system back on. Not clear who gave that approval. Given the impending end of the fiscal year and the many delays this year, the few hour pause could matter. Reminded me of this stunt from July 2025: www.statnews.com/2025/07/29/t...
