We can prevent most liver and cervical cancer with a simple vaccine, but nah, let's let people die horribly at extreme expense instead. It's moral failure
Hepatitis B infection in infancy (almost half of all HepB is caught in childhood) is associated with a 90% chance of becoming a chronic infection (ie the body can never clear the virus), and is highly likely to progress to liver failure and liver cancer.

What is lost in a lot of these headlines is the fact that these institutions are vanishing. This is a huge loss for everyone who may ever use a therapeutic medicine in the future. And it isn’t just limited to us unlucky Americans; destroying institutions like the US FDA will have global consequences
Four people familiar with the decision told Politico that Rick Pazdur, the top drug regulator at the FDA, submitted his resignation Tuesday, further roiling an agency that’s been upended by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Jay Bhattacharya and Matthew Memoli aren't bringing "gold standard science" to the #NIH, they are gutting research slowly but surely. When this time is over, they should be hauled before Congress, and shunned for the rest of their lives. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

It is *better for the airline* if people check a bag rather than try to bring it as a carry-on. It is in their interest to let people check a bag for free.
