Devastating for scientists and their research, and everyone who benefits from that research.

I’m not sure if everyone outside academia is aware that a delay or “pause” in grant funding often means the researchers themselves are lost from the field, along with their expertise.
NIH appears to have canceled/postponed all of its study sections—the independent review panels that approve federal grants for health research.

Such grants fund the work/salaries of 300k people at more than 2,500 institutions
All NIH study sections canceled indefinitely. This will halt science and devastate research budgets in universities.

FACT: Aaron Rodgers, a dumbass jock who knows fuck all about science and medicine and uses the media to spew dangerous conspiracy theories about vaccines to gullible fans who listen to him because he used to be able to throw a football, sucks.
