Public trust is also not lacking. The public largely understands that this is a technology that has saved many lives—it’s just missing in circles that have been heavily politicized

10. This provision is by no means the only dreadful, counterproductive, and un-American aspect of the current executive order. But it is one that will cause extraordinary harm and may be less transparently disastrous that other elements of the order.

And this is what we have been seeing since Jan 20th: Vought and his Project 2025 team have been interfering with grants by meddling INSIDE the agency, inside NIH and/or HHS.
Outrageous. The White House is sidestepping Congress and halting up to $15 billion in NIH research funding, which would have gone to study diabetes, cancer & more.
The order was issued through a four-sentence email sent to NIH directors from Office of Management & Budget Director Russell Vought.
