Besides drug approval, which is not a measurement in itself, I can attest to this. A large German pharma, has increased their head count from 7 to 40 within a year. They bought a local pharma for 1 billion US dollar and at the same time closed a US facility. The same goes for many other pharmas. You can say what you want about China, but they are investing heavily in science. Because they believe in science. Unlike the current regime of the US.
Canada is hiring American doctors left right and center.
No, we are not. Canadian healthcare is provincial and underfunded by Conservative governments. Also, US medical licenses aren’t worth shit in Canada.
Eh, ymmv. Did you know they defunded BioNTech? The developers of what is now the Pfizer Covid vaccine? Covid vaccine research is desperately needed (see vaccine injury) but there is no funding.
Many EU countries are defunding science. Being a researcher is an absolute nightmare. Brussels is receiving tons more applications for funding because researchers aren’t getting money from their own government anymore. University departments are being shut down.
People who have been doing scientific and medical research for decades are finding themselves on the streets.
BioNTech is definitely not defunded in China. Besides BioNTech, there are more local pharmas working on mRNA. BioNTech have a license / working agreement with BMS worth 2 billion dollars mainly for a mRNA cancer vaccine. Mostly handled in China - again. Because in the US as a scientist you’ll be defunded if you use the word mRNA in your documentation.
It is generally fucking nuts to block what could be one of the major cancer treatments of the near future.
The last thing I heard about Biontech is that the couple founding the company got crazy rich, figured out they don’t like being CEOs of a large company, and founded another small research lab with their money.
Besides, it is a private company, sure, they got government grants and funding especially during Corona, but I don’t think we should give random companies fucktons of tax money in normal circumstances. At least not while we’re doing the whole market economy capitalism thing.
That does not mean that science funding isn’t getting cut, I am still a bit salty that it removed my chances of getting a phd. Fighter jets and tanks aren’t free, and neither is pissing billions into the wind because you refuse to persecute fraudsters.
It’s so fun looking for work now after a career in vaccine and cancer therapy development.
Ooohh…damn…oh…uh…damn…snap.
As one of the people who lost their job, doing important & worthwhile work, directly due to the funding cuts of this current administration, I only have a few words: FUCK YOU okay that’s two. So, let’s add PEDOPHILES to the end. FUCK YOU PEDOPHILES.
As the wise Ricky would tell them - Fuck, pretty easy to understand. Off, real easy to understand. Fuck off!
two technically counts as “a few”, but i’ll allow the addition
These people have the self awareness of a rock.
When are you going to realise they are completely self aware, completely disingenuous, and speak to gain power or achieve objectives rather than make a coherent point.
For the record, I fully do not believe that RFK Jr. is remotely self-aware, nor is Trump for that matter. There absolutely are self-aware individuals in the administration who are as you describe, no doubt, but I do not believe those two are among them.
I dont understand why people keep underestimating them. This is all a song and dance to keep their base happy and everyone thinking they’re stupid. Ever wonder why they keep winning, even though everyone calls thethem stupid? Never underestimate your enemy.
Sorry, wtf has RFK Jr. won?
One of the highest positions in the US and absolute carte blanche to implement whatever whacked out health shit he wants. Probably the most fun hes ever had.
So you’re talking out of your ass. Got it.
You are blind to what is in front of you.
They also believe a rock can think like a human so…
Even trillions of dollars has yet to make the rocks actually think yet.
We have thinking sand. Pretty damn close to rocks tbh
?
Lmao thanks for the laughs
Know your meme hot dog guy
Thanks!
That’s so unexpected and weird, did the severed dead raccoon penis not help at all??
Was about to make a similar comment lol, you beat me to it. So wild, who in there right mind would say to themselves “I’m gonna cut off that dead raccoons penis for research, ya research “
It’s so so much better when you see the full quote. He thought he was the normal one in his family lol. Keep in mind this is his own words from his diary.
“I was standing in front of my parked car on I-684 cutting the penis out of a road killed raccoon, thinking about how weird some of my family members have turned out to be."
I hate whoever got themselves cursed with such interesting times because what the fuck is even happening anymore
The brain worm may have shifted, thus allowing neurons to connect again.
I FIRED all our Scientists and DEFUNDED all our Research because I THOUGHT it would IMPROVE our Research Capabilities!
-NOT DEI hires!
Everyone in the administration is a DEI hire. Drunken Entitled Idiots.
LOL. This cunt shut down the NIH and now laments the lack of new drugs, coming from scientists forced by the US to move to China.
The raccoon penis isn’t working, Bob.
I’m sorry, you have misunderstood his words, he doesn’t want better drugs or safer drugs, he wants more drugs approved, fewer hurdles to sell his buddies snake oil
This is the point everyone misses. Hes not asking for more medical research to be done, hes asking for the standards for approval to be lowered or eliminated.

Kinda feels like he’s angling to reduce FDA oversight with this one?
This dude thinks aspirin causes autism but then complains we’re not approving enough drugs. That tapeworm really did a number on this guy.
Axchually he said it’s acetaminophen what somehow causes autism
Then he said it didn’t.
So much accomplished.
Guess where Arrakis Sandworms anscstors came from.
Should rather link to their shitty dope too.
“I want to take this opportunity to encourage our scientists to invest more research into the fascinating field of Raccoon penis. I’ll gladly share my findings.”
I hear they are pumping more money into roadkill extract for curing autism.
Raccoonpenitol. Ask your doctor if it is right for you.
Oh man. The US has lost its edge in everything. Its a real shit show.
You don’t need much from a government, but it doesn’t work with a bunch of thieving criminals.
Excuse me? We’re still the best at mounting flags in the backs of pickup trucks.
Well ackshually…
Here in Australia our servos (seppo: gas stations) sell this little plastic flags that clip on to your window or door frame. Dickheads can easily self identify by attaching two of these to their fucktard conveyance machine.
I’m sorry to tell you that toxic patriotism technologies have progressed beyond flags in the backs of pickup trucks.
little plastic flags that clip on to your window or door frame
I don’t mean to be all nationalistic, but I’m not talking about little clipped-on plastic flags. I’m talking full-on, massive Old Glories.
China: Eats lunch
RFK Jr.: “THAT’S MINE!”
