Trump has slashed the NIH budget including parts reserved for cancer research and pushed for elimination for cancer screenings for poor people (also early detection in cancer tends to lead to less expensive treatments) so I guess people with cancer can get fucked kek

I'm sure it'll balance out for more phone calls for more Scotts to come

Do you think the cures (plural because it's not even close to a "doctors hate this one simple trick" situation) for cancer are behind a paywall and just giving monkeys more money will inevitably create a cure?

The money is for highly intelligent, analytical people to get paid to work on the problem. Given that there are fewer of that sort of person in the NIH now than in the past, it's only right to slash their budget until they find more useful people. And it's up to the NIH to prove their good intentions by not taking any money away from researchers who actually do their job right before the administrative parasites are all gone. Rather than doing the opposite and making a big show of it to politically blackmail the gov to be allowed to keep wasting money.

I also can't find any evidence at all of trump wanting to eliminate cancer screening, and I'm going to need something to back that up because on the surface it sounds about as plausible as the claim that an 82 year old president wasn't screened for prostate cancer once in his entire 4 year term.

I'm sure what was cut is studying the effect of male-to-female hormones on cancer risk. Then the NPC chant becomes "cutting cancer research" because "cutting tranny cancer research" doesn't work.

Like I looked at a list of all the NSF grants that were canceled and I didn't find a single one that wasn't lefty bullshit. A few had titles that sounded okay, but even just reading the summary description made it clear they were lefty 'research'.
