A 2023 study found that NIH grants supported the research behind 99.4% of all new pharmaceuticals approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in the 2010s. Yes, our health & quality of life depends on the NIH. Read why: https://t.co/HcHcABHZuE“why-are-we-funding-this”

Why leave money for medical research UNUSED when people are still waiting for cures???

My lab is hiring multiple PhD students and postdoctoral fellows. If you are in Canada and interested in neuroscience, regenerative medicine and stem cells, contact me. We are a productive group working on pathogenesis and treatment of multiple sclerosis. https://t.co/g0qEuQDDi8

Absolutely unbelievable: the sitting HHS Secretary tried to pressure the Annals of Internal Medicine to retract the major Danish study of 1.2 M kids that found no harm from aluminum in vaccines. The journal refused. This isn’t just anti-science it is political interference.

The US and Germany share the same DNA. We are partners. We are friends. We are literally family.

Many citizens here in the US have ancestors hailing from Germany.

I just gave @POTUS a copy of his grandfather’s birth certificate. He was born in Kallstadt, Germany, in 1869.
