Confusion and anxiety is rippling through the US health-research community this week following Donald Trump taking office as the 47th US president. His administration has abruptly cancelled research-grant reviews, travel and trainings for scientists inside and outside the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the world’s largest public biomedical funder. Adding to the worry: the Trump team appears to have deleted entire webpages about diversity programmes and diversity-related grants from the agency’s site.

MAHA - defund cancer research Trump’s executive order for the NIH to freeze meetings, travel, communications, and hiring throws the agency into chaos, interrupting research into cancer treatments, antibiotics, infections and more. What does this mean now?

Not sure if it legal or not want Trump is doing or he needs to go to courts and congress for debate and they vote on it. But it be sad day if it gets removed. Just about all countries in South America offer birthright citizenship - plus Chad and Tanzania - that's about it. And Canada. So if the US did NOT allow it - we'd join Colombia as the only nation on this half of the earth. On the other hand - for all of you folks who think Europe is the way to go - NO Euro-nation offers unrestricted birthright citizenship. That's NONE. As in ZERO, nor in Australia or Asia. This is mainly (theory, not mine) a vestige of the New World - lax immigration policies, due to colonization. It hasn't applied across the pond for a few thousand years.

What lies ? he is going to remove citizenship to kids born in the US by illegal immigration. That makes no sense, are saying it is lie? about remove citizenship to kids born in the US by illegal immigration and he is not going to do it? I thought these where executive orders he was sighing. There was table with at least 40 papers he was sighing all executive orders on different things. It not him just posting things on social media. What lie? The social media and message boards are exploding with all the controversial executive orders he was sighting. I only posted two here in this forum.

So why are other forums talking about this? What lies ? Trump made it very clear who he is and one that is he hates the liberals and every thing they are doing or have done. Trump is center of the room of attention that who he is. If Biden remove the 14 the Amendment Trump will probably bring it back. Why because trump hates the liberals. The liberals also not into tariffs but he is and he knows that make liberals skin craw. Trump hates illegal immigration so oblivious he is going to remove citizenship to kids born in the US by illegal immigration. Be it morally sound is other topic.

Yes what you talking about is this. What is the 14th Amendment and how does it apply to birthright citizenship? President Donald Trump issued an executive order on Monday evening targeting automatic citizenship for U.S.-born children of immigrants in the country illegally, contrary to the 14th Amendment. The order was part of a flurry of executive action Trump took on the first day of his second term. "The federal government will not recognize automatic birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens born in the United States. We are also going to enhance vetting and screening of illegal aliens," said a Trump official in a briefing on Monday https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/what-is-the-14th-amendment-and-how-does-it-apply-to-birthright-citizenship/ar-AA1xydXN

The reason I’m asking is sexism/sexists belief females are inferior to men and should not have skilled jobs or be skilled position and inferior and dumb where misogynists just hates women and belief they are trash and dumb and should stay home. That is why I’m asking what is his appointees. A misogynists would say females are taking jobs from men and the White House should be all men. Well if he is sexists he would say females can work in the White House if it is non skill work. That why I’m asking how sexists is he and his he really misogynists?

I’m surprise there is no topic on it, has Trump past a number of executive orders on day one all controversial. It seems CD website has topics for number of threads on the controversial executive order he past that day. The internet is buzzing with also Elon Musk Nazi salute. Yet this forum is empty of such talk.

So Trump is sexists but not misogynists. He has women in the white house working but they doing mostly basic work or I’m wrong and he has some them working in basic work but they all pointed by looks and loyal to him?

I don’t care what Trump did when he was kid but what he is doing now. I’m not sure if he so sexist he believes women have no right to get government job and most of all his appointees are all men.

Trump likes to be different so basically looks at other party and does opposite be make sense or not. But what is he thinking does he not know lot of Spanish voted for him. Don’t forget lot of older Spanish people voted for him and now he doing that makes no sense.

How could Capitalism be pain and suffering? May be unfair and sad of you compare have and have nots but not suffering and pain like sickness or medical problem. Some sickness or medical problems may be worse than others.

It is old virus and been around for years so probably will not end up like covid did.

Is this racist or some other reason why Trump is doing this? GO HOME’ — White House removes Spanish language from website https://www.local3news.com/regional-national/go-home-white-house-removes-spanish-language-from-website/article_0efe01bc-d7fd-11ef-b30e-2fdb0dc1e66d.html Minutes after Donald Trump took the Oath of Office to become the 47th President of the United States, the White House’s website was re-vamped, including the removal of a Spanish language section. The landing page for the White House’s Spanish language communications similarly went dark in 2017, but had been restored in 2021 during President Joe Biden’s tenure. https://www.local3news.com/regional-national/go-home-white-house-removes-spanish-language-from-website/article_0efe01bc-d7fd-11ef-b30e-2fdb0dc1e66d.html

Why do some people here say Trump is sexist? How sexist his Trump? I notice some people say that Trump is sexist and hates women? Is that true? When you look at the congressman and senators is it about the same has Biden or the white house or when you look at Trump cabinet ministers like department education, department of finance, department of healthcare so on. Is there major difference? Mostly all guys now?

What is DEI, and why is it dividing America? Diversity, equity and inclusion programs have come under attack in American boardrooms, state legislatures and college campuses – and now broadly across the federal government. President Donald Trump hours after swearing in this week began making good on promises to wage a war against such policies, inking an executive order banning efforts such as “environmental justice programs,” “equity initiatives” and DEI considerations in federal hiring. https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/22/us/dei-diversity-equity-inclusion-explained

A good video on why So Much Suffering in the World? Life is suffering I can think of the cold or flu as Suffering or side effect of medication. videos deleted as rule 2.7 violation

A surge in cases of the flu-like human metapneumovirus (HMPV) in China has raised fears of another Covid-style pandemic. Images of hospitals overrun with masked patients have circulated widely on social media, but health experts say HMPV is not like Covid https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c23vjg7v7k0o Here we go again other Covid like outbreak.

Why do these animals do this? Are they just play fighting or are they fighting for dominance? Is that what they do in their pack the head of the pack show who is dominance?

If you look this in China yuan cancer treatment cost it is yuan 21,000 for bladder cancer and yuan 39,527 for lung cancer and yuan 33,376 for stomach cancer. That is yuan 21,000 is $2,863.95 and yuan 39,527 is $5,390.64 and yuan 33,376 is $4,551.77. So if you covert much cheaper in US dollars and the most expensive lung cancer. Average costs for cancer treatments in public hospitals in China in 2021, by type of cancer So if you look at that in China they not making much money of cancer treatment. Where in the US it like three times of buying car or more.

Other thing is lot of other countries healthcare is way cheaper than the US. Where the US is most expensive in the world and per GDP the US spends most on healthcare despite out control healthcare cost and no state run healthcare. This may be big incentive for profit treatment in the US. Where countries like South Korea, Japan and China healthcare may be dirt cheap there and doctors get paid less than what they would be working in the US so is scientist there working getting way less than what they would working in the US and so this may be why the government spends so little money if doctors and scientist don’t get much money and chemotherapy is really cheap there. There may not lot of money to be made there per profit so there is less of incentive for treatment or research.

In 2009 Pfizer plead guilty to misbranding a drug with intent to defraud or mislead, bribing doctors and suppressing adverse trial results. Pfizer was required to pay a settlement of $2.3 Billion to the Department of Justice, the 2nd largest healthcare fraud settlement in the history of the Department of Justice. Pfizer has paid over $10 billion in settlements for offenses like unapproved promotion of medical products, equipment safety and environmental violation, false claim and foreign corrupt practices. Scott Gottlieb is a former FDA Commissioner and is currently a board member for Pfizer. In the past 40 years, 9 of the 10 FDA Commissioners have worked for pharmaceutical companies after leaving the FDA. Reuter is the company responsible for the fact checking on Twitter and Facebook. Jim Smith is the Chairman of Reuters Foundation and also a board member for Pfizer. The only FDA approved treatment for covid is Remdesiver. Pfizer has an agreement with Gilead, the owners of Remdesiver to manufacture the drug. Pfizer makes large contributions to mainstream media outlets like CNN, ABC, CBS and NBC.

You said there is lot of corruption in Argentina and Venezuela can you elaborate on that?

The pharma industry is responsible for the pricing of so-called “niche” generic drugs, whose suppliers exploit weak competition and regulation to hike prices On top of this you have evergreening whereby pharma drugs continually have their patents renewed due to small formula changes etc, and the vast majority of drugs fall in to this category. The pharma industry is not really that interested in doing that much research in to rare types of cancer which are not going to create much drug sales, and if they do put money in to research it will usually only in relation to where they think the most profit can be generated. In reality many pharma companies spend more on advertising than they do on research, and in reality a lot of the specialist cancer research is the remit of medical research money awarded via the Government, Charities and Academic Institutions, although some times a pharma or bio-tech company may become a research partner in the off chance that they can reap any rewards, whilst some research institutions have created their own bio-tech research spin off companies. The same is true in relation to research, which is often not shared, and can lead to a lot of money wasted on duplication, and in terms of pharma companies they are obviously not going to share much with other rival companies or reveal a lot of their research full stop.

Yea the countries GDP may be better way to look at it than population. The US is 29 and Germany is 4.7 and Japan and India is 4. So if Japan and India is 4 and that means the US is 7 times bigger than Japan or India. So if they spend 4% that be 28% if their GDP was big as the US. The UK is 3.5 that means the US is 8 times bigger per GDP would be 28. The US still spends most per GDP on cancer research than second in line is the UK. China is pathetic they hardly spend any thing.
