Throw away years of hard work and millions of dollars. Ending a $5 million research study when it is 80% complete does not save $1 million, it wastes $4 million.
Shirk commitments to participants, who braved personal risk to give the incredible gift of biological samples, understanding that their generosity would fuel scientific discovery and improve health.
Risk participant health. NIH trials are being halted without regard to participant safety, abruptly stopping medications or leaving participants with unmonitored device implants.
Damage hard-earned public trust, counter to your stated goal to improve trust in NIH.
Goodness, the consequences are horrible.
OP, thank you for posting this.
That’s great and all, but where is Elder Scrolls VI?
I was really confused as to why the Skyrim dudes were involved here.
Get the population to trust magic more than medicine. Pretty soon, they start turning down the health plan at work. Soon after that, it’s so unimportant, employers no longer need to offer it.
Always follow the money.
Having healthcare tied to your employer was always a terrible idea. Keeps people stuck in shit jobs-which further depresses wages, decreases the amount of potential entrepreneurs and small business owners
