I’m more worried about dying of some completely treatable illness, either because our politicians pretend it’s not real or because I can’t afford the treatment. I’m also concerned about using all of my retirement savings to live, dying broke, and having nothing to leave to my kids, who will likely suffer the same fate.
Also think of the lost treatments we won’t discover.
The NIH is currently the largest health funder on earth. Kennedy will go there and stop any useful research and instead start his “raw milk” and anti-vaxx bullshit.
Then even if one day that bullshit is over with, we’ll have to spend our research dollars debunking kennedy’s flawed research he funded, instead of actually useful stuff.
I’m not kidding when I say this election might mean worldwide health research gets held back like 5-8 years.
