The reason why RFK Jr will not feel even slightly bad about these 10,000 low-income people losing access to life-saving antiviral medicines is that he is an AIDS denialist
He does not think HIV is the cause of AIDS
His conspiracy theories are killing people

Catastrophe: Florida's Department of Health is stopping coverage for antivirals to 10,000 low-income people with HIV infection, blaming impending federal cuts to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program. 12.5% of Americans with HIV live in Florida.
Thousands to lose access to HIV drugs with new cuts
An estimated 10,000 people are about to lose access to their HIV medication as the Florida Department of Health makes cuts to the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP).

My hearty congratulations to Senator Bill Cassidy, who kissed the ring and appointed RFK Jr. for Trump, only to have Trump give his full endorsement to Julia Letlow.

This is super important because trainees also have to make life choices in this current environment and providing them with a realistic assessment of where things stand helps them do that. Many of these trainees have families that will be affected by the choices they make. Science is done by people!
I don’t have the answer to the larger question posed by the OP but I do recommend honesty. Trainees in academic science are adults. They can handle the truth. There is no point to pretending everything is/will be fine and just doing the science will see them through.

The Boston Globe Test:
This satirical front page imagined a Trump presidency in 2016. Critics (including Trump himself) dismissed it as "alarmist" and "propaganda" at the time.
Do these headlines feel normal today? Even...quaint?
If so: we have grown more accepting of what was once unthinkable.

Trump says a lot of deranged shit, but, per this Reuters article — and the threats of invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota this morning — he is very clearly exploring how to cancel the midterms.

Saint Paul schools will be closed Tuesday and Wednesday to prepare for optional online learning.
I’ve seen schools close for snow, for pandemic, for natural disaster. I’ve never seen schools close because of threat from our own government.

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness.
You could be next.

Happening Now: Hundreds of protesters are holding a noise demo outside of the Graduate by Hilton Hotel in Minneapolis where ICE agents are reportedly staying. Drums, guitars, pots and pans are in-tune to "fuck ICE" and "ICE out" chants. Riot police are currently in the lobby.

Disrespect of LEOs is now a crime, and the punishment is death.
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

Two headlines on the BBC website:
1. Iran protesters defy crackdown as videos show violent clashes
2. Thousands march and dozens arrested in Minneapolis protests against ICE
The two most pertinent editorial word choices here are 'crackdown' and 'arrested.' See how this works?
