The brain drain is already occurring and has occurred to a large extent. Many of the most experienced, knowledgeable people have left already, either because they were fired or because they saw the handwriting on the wall and sought other jobs. And these people are highly employable, at least they have been up until now, because

Many of the most experienced, knowledgeable people have left already, either because they were fired or because they saw the handwriting on the wall and sought other jobs. And these people are highly employable, at least they have been up until now, because
uh, the skills to understand, let's say drug development or, uh, what the factors are and save for nutritious food. Um, these are highly qualified people. So of course, right now, uh, those that are being fired and having a hard time finding a job because universities are also not hiring and the industry is getting filled up with, uh, people.

So there's going to be a problem, uh, in the short term. But there's no question that losing institutional knowledge, the understanding of how things work, where the risks are. I mean, Ben, one thing I feel like I have to say over and over, if we just take drugs, nine out of 10 drugs that get into human clinical trials don't make it to market either because...

they have an unexpected toxicity or because they engage the target the drug is going after, but it doesn't have the benefit that was expected. And to know that, you have to do these very complicated clinical trials. I think a better way to describe them is human experiments, which is what they are, people volunteering to put their lives on the line. You referred to

One, but it's one of many clinical trials. Imagine that you volunteered for a human experiment, you're in the middle of it, and the government decides to just stop funding it out of the blue with one day's notice. You may be on an experimental drug, you're getting medical care related to this.

It's really a lot of evidence that sort of software engineering is being used to do this with anonymous emails from people who actually don't have content knowledge about what's going on. That's why now that we have a new confirmed commissioner, I'm hopeful that he will put things back in order and build it up, but we've really got to keep an eye on this.

Could I mention one other thing that I think is really important right now? We have a Secretary of Health and Human Services who's written that viruses and bacteria don't cause illness and who is suing the government to make it almost impossible to distribute vaccines.
