must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

It's not useful but I just can't believe we let people who believe this shit within light years of power
Screenshot from Trump's budget request showing an $18 billion cut to NIH and then a paragraph full of incredible bullshit, here is most of it, sorry for so much alt text but I ran out of characters: The Administration is committed to restoring accountability, public trust, and transparency at the NIH. NIH has broken the trust ofthe American people with wasteful spending, misleading information, risky research, and the promotion of dangerous ideologies that undermine public health. While evidence ofthe origins ofthe COVID- 19 pandemic leaking from a laboratory is now confirmed by several intelligence agencies, the NIH's inability to prove that its grantstothe Wuhan Institute ofVirology were not complicit in such a possible leak, or get data and hold recipients of Federal funding accountable is evidence that NIH has grown too big and unfocused. Further, the NIH has been involved in dangerous gain-of-function research and failed to adequately addressit, which further undermines public confidence in NIH. The NIH has also promoted radical gender ideology to the detriment ofAmerica's youth. For example, the NIH funded a study titled "Psychosocial Functioning in Transgender Youth after 2 Years of Hormones," in which two participantstragically committed suicide. The Budget proposes to reform NIH and focus NIH research activities in line with the President's commitment to MAHA, including consolidating multiple overlapping and ill-focused programs into five new focus areas with associated spending reforms: the National Institute on Body Systems Research; National Institute on Neuroscience and Brain Research; National Institute of General Medical Sciences; National Institute of Disability Related Research; and National Institute on Behavioral Health.
