The Trump Administration’s Continued War Against Science, Research, Public Health, and the Rule of Law – Part 8

This article by Sabrina I. Pacifici is the eighth in a series with a focus on the continuing onslaught on science, healthcare and public health, and the rule of law. Since the 1990s, the public and private sectors have mobilized to coordinate, fund, build, expand and sustain one of most vibrant and impactful scientific communities in the world. But in little more than one year, this administration has engaged in a relentless campaign of targeted and sustained attacks against America’s highly interconnected network structure of scientific research and development. The specifics of the dozens of destructive actions taken by this administration have been documented in this series. The overall goal of these articles is to track and identify the magnitude of the loses we have sustained and the damage done to our democracy, economy, the lives of countless Americans who will suffer from the termination of vital research and routine vaccinations, and to our free and fair elections.
