Treatments for childhood cancer, Alzheimer’s, and sickle cell are at risk.

Donald Trump slashed funds, and Massachusetts’s world-class researchers were hit hard.

It's terrifying — and every family holding out hope for lifesaving treatments will hurt from this.

We all know Trump lies on repeat. It’s obvious. Republicans know it too. They just move in lockstep and pretend not to notice, like it’s part of the job description.

But at what point will they reach their Trump hoodwink limit?

Minnesota health officials warn of sexually transmitted fungal infection outbreak
The infection is caused by Trichophyton mentagrophytes type VII (TMVII), a fungus that causes ringworm—round, coin-like rashes that are red and irritated—on the arms, buttocks, trunk, genitals, and legs. TMVII spreads through skin-to-skin contact, including sexual contact. Spores from the fungus can also spread on surfaces.

"The Trump regime is a disaster not just for public health in the US, but worldwide. There has been a great deal of discussion of the ways in which Trump’s reckless foreign policy has put global security at risk. But US abandonment of public health leadership may well be even more consequential."
Trump somehow got worse on public health after covid
He's incapable of learning lessons and actively resists it.
