Of course. Trump's Gold Standard Science is Fool's Gold from the US President who has done more to destroy science and medicine than any president in US history. We face a level five alarm. All hands on board, to mix metaphors.

Learn how Medicaid cuts will horribly impact the medical care of children with diabetes. Also, NIH cuts will cripple diabetes research and massively slow the development of technologies our citizens and people all around the world need! This will be especially awful for children with diabetes.

That's more than 4 million lives per year.

With immunization for all, anything is possible – #HumanlyPossible.
