Summary
Trump has reportedly slashed funding for the NIH’s Roy Blunt Center for Alzheimer’s Research, leading to layoffs, including its incoming director.
The center, named after former GOP Senator Roy Blunt, was a Republican-backed initiative to advance Alzheimer’s and dementia research. Despite previously championing the program, Republicans have remained silent on the cuts.
Experts warn weakening the center will significantly set back Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s research.
Critics argue the move contradicts past GOP support and lacks justification from either party or scientific leaders.
You would think trump and the many old politicians would be more interested in this and really any health research.
They are too old to benefit and fuck future generations is their mindset.
I mean if you draw breath I don’t see how your to old to benefit. You can’t really say when new things will be figured out and if your immorally rich you can go do it before its gone through testing if you desperate.
