Your school won in court but your budget is cut 20% so you’re firing two techs and not taking any PhD students. Your grant is up for renewal in 2027, sorry but Jay Bhattacharya has classified it as woke. Meanwhile 10 pharma recruiters are in your inbox. American science is straight up fucked.

Look, there are plenty of scientists that are individually arrogant and narrow minded, but have enough journalistic responsibility to realize “scientific orthodoxy” in this case is a euphemism for “evidence based treatments that have been proven effective in numerous test cases over decades.”
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

Apparently RFK Jr. promised Senator Bill Cassidy that he wouldn’t remove the statement
“Vaccines do not cause autism” from the CDC website.
So what RFK Jr. did instead is spit in his face by leaving the statement there and adding this:
