"And let’s not forget that when the Covid pandemic was raging, Trump seemed far more interested in preventing people from hearing bad news than he was in holding down the death toll.
So my prediction — which I hope proves false — is that when NIH and other health agencies emerge from the current freeze they will have been emasculated and politicized, prohibited from releasing information and research whose implications the Trump administration doesn’t like, banned from making policy recommendations that are inconvenient for Trump or at odds with the prejudices of the MAGA base.
And many Americans will die as a result." -- Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman, writing today on Substack.
The people who voted for the Malignant Fascist and ignored his deadly bungling of the COVID pandemic, which took many thousands of lives of his cult members, are about to enter the "find out" part of FAFO when it comes to their health under the MF's reckless regime (also, see our post below on Trump's dismantling of Government science).
