Nasty sadist attacks cancer research

[Stalin]

Let St Francis of the Pentagon try and attack this sobering news...

Lobbying for cancer research, he says, used to be like pushing on an open door. "Most of the time when I've come, I've met with Democrats and Republicans, and we talked about the bipartisan support for cancer research," Weiner said. "This is the first time that I felt there was an existential crisis in our ability to make the type of progress that I see in front of us."

These days, the conversation is all about thousands of layoffs … delays in research … massive budget cuts – close to a 40% proposed cut in funding for the National Cancer Institute.

"I wake up every morning looking at my phone: Did I get an email from the National Cancer Institute saying I'm no longer receiving my grants?" said Jaffee.

Has she felt the impact yet? "Oh, yeah, we certainly have felt the impact, to the point where people are leaving," Jaffee replied. "So, in our clinical research operation, which takes years to build, train research nurses, takes two years to train coordinators, takes six to 12 months, these people are leaving because the funding isn't coming in."

I asked, "If they keep cutting back, how long before Dr. Jaffee says, 'That's it'?"

"I have to be honest, there are days when I do feel that," she replied. "But I look around and I feel like I would be disloyal to our patients. We are in a technological revolution in cancer research. We are rapidly making discoveries that we couldn't even do ten years ago."

"When is cancer political?" Medical researchers, patients decry Trump admin's layoffs, budget cuts

Scientists conducting medical research are facing an existential crisis: Layoffs and budget cuts pushed by President Trump that, they say, jeopardize finding a cure for cancer.

Democrats foolishly believe cuts in waste, fraud, incompetence, and abuse are going to cause millions to die.
