Trump cancels NIH external communications.
"Okay, what does that mean?"
They didn't say, they went full radio silent. But the NIH is the single largest public funder of medical research in the world, and a cutoff of communications would end any research they wanted to fund.
"Surely this is just the same temporary pause that happens ever admin."
Interesing theory. Link something from 2021.
"Uh..."
Or 2017, 2009, 2001...just, you know, go nuts. Make sure whatever you find also has the NIH cutting off all travel and all job offers, because they just did that, too.
This includes cancer research, by the way.
Anyone claiming Trump wants to improve health care is lying. Anyone who is looking for some tiny shred of evidence that some part of Canada's health care is worse than the United States should keep this part in mind, because Canada's government is still talking to Canada's medical researchers.
