This is a program that provides vaccines to children whose parents might not be able to afford them. And it's a large part of the reason that we're able to achieve herd immunity, to achieve nationwide coverage for diseases like measles that we're now seeing resurgences of. And

Anything that undermines this program, even if it's just casting fear or casting doubt about vaccines, can make a huge difference in how likely it is that there's a measles outbreak.

If you asked me on January 19th, before this administration started, whether they would be taking down thousands of websites relating to a whole slew of random words, I would have said you're crazy. So I don't think that's an overreaction.

I think that's a great question. I think that saving money is one... Saving money is the... most logical thing I can think of but this fundamental research pays dividends in a big way in industry in drugs that are brought to market it's absolutely essential to the pharmaceutical industry for this research to be going on

I think people have all kinds of criticisms about how the NIH could be reformed, how we could be more effectively spending our our research money. But what we've seen here is not a what they would consider a good faith reform. efforts to try to reform the system. This is a dismantling of the system.

You don't just stop funding projects, gum up the entire funding process if you're trying to reform it. I think some people have attributed it to retribution. I think the NIH caught a lot of flack after the COVID-19 pandemic by Trump and his allies. So it could be something along those lines.

I've still yet to see kind of a full-scale explanation for what's going on.

Yeah, I think that that's one interpretation of this all. And I think that people are really struggling to make sense of it. I think that's what hurts so much.

The changes that have already been made in three weeks will have lasting implications. And so it seems to me that it's not just a threat of tariffs here. You know, I talked with researchers who were optimistic or who were optimistic willing to give this administration a chance.

And I think that in just a few short weeks, that optimism has quickly soured once they realized just the tenor and the vitriol of some of the administration's actions. Who knows what will come after, but that is kind of the reaction I've been hearing so far.
