1. Acusaciones sobre el Origen de la Pandemia y el NIH.
Una parte significativa del debate se centra en la teoría de que el NIH, o la investigación financiada por este, pudo haber contribuido al inicio de la pandemia de COVID-19, a menudo vinculada a la investigación de ganancia de función y la hipótesis de la fuga de laboratorio. Estas afirmaciones han generado controversia y negaciones.
- Wait a minute did he just say nih caused the pandemic by their own gain-of - function research??!! please tell me i misheard.
- Nih director jay bhattacharya says u.s. Gain-of-function research likely caused the covid-19 pandemic.
- Jb that episode is a low point in science. Top officials at nih hid research that may have caused the pandemic.
- On ftn, omb director vought says the nih was weaponized against the american people over the last several years with regard to funding gain of function research that caused the pandemic. Thats an absolute lie. Its genetically impossible that the virus research funded by nih caused the pandemic.
- Jay bhattacharya has promoted the conspiracy theory that the nih is complicit in the pandemic starting as a lab leak in wuhan.
2. Recortes Masivos de Financiación y su Impacto en la Investigación.
El documento detalla una serie de recortes significativos en la financiación del NIH y los CDC, afectando una amplia gama de investigaciones, desde antivirales y vacunas hasta estudios sobre el COVID-19, el cáncer y la preparación para futuras pandemias. Estos recortes se justifican a menudo con la afirmación de que la pandemia ha terminado.
- Too bad all the nih and cdc funding and scientists got chopped.
- I heard from more than a dozen scientists whose nih funding for antivirals and vaccines was cut in a covid research cull.
- Nih a.k.a., trump is cancelling covid research funding. It matters because the virus is not gone, is still infecting and killing many people and is the key to understanding the next pandemic.
- Research related to covid-19 and other viruses of pandemic potential, china, dei, transgender issues, vaccine hesitancy, south africa and climate change are being considered research activities that nih no longer supports.
- Nih is slashing 400 research grants, including covid-19 studies, citing the pandemics end! experts warn this move threatens future pandemic preparedness.
3. Jay Bhattacharya y la Nueva Dirección del NIH.
Jay Bhattacharya, el nuevo director del NIH, es una figura central en la narrativa. Sus puntos de vista controvertidos durante la pandemia, incluyendo la promoción de la inmunidad de rebaño y el escepticismo sobre las medidas de mitigación, ahora se traducen en políticas que despriorizan la preparación para pandemias y culpan al NIH por el origen del COVID-19.
- Dr jay bhattacharya, the new head of americas top research institution the nih.
- Director bhattacharya, at his first town hall, blamed the nih for the pandemic.
- In 2020 and 2021, jay bhattacharya, trumps pick to head nih, advised a south african group that claimed there was no covid pandemic and pushed a conspiracy theory about efforts to combat covid.
- Great. Now we have an anti-masker and covid denier who pushed for herd immunity during the pandemic regardless of the impact that would have on vulnerable populations heading the nih.
- Jay bhattacharya, trumps director of the national institutes of health, offered a remarkably blunt answer nothing. Forget vaccines, social distancing, masks and forget even covid vaccines!
4. Deterioro de la Preparación para Futuras Pandemias.
Las políticas actuales y los recortes de financiación están generando una profunda preocupación sobre la capacidad de Estados Unidos para enfrentar futuras crisis de salud global. Se advierte que la eliminación de programas de preparación y la pérdida de experiencia científica dejarán al país vulnerable.
- Making the us less prepared for the next pandemic.
- Programs aimed at cures for the next pandemic are being shut down. This will cost lives.
- Covid was destructive. So hes taking a chain saw to the nih and cdc ensuring well be even less prepared for the next pandemic. Make it make sense!
- Without the cdc or nih we might as well be fighting the next pandemic with bloodletting and self-flagellation black death style.
- Staff at niaid have been instructed to remove the words biodefense and pandemic preparedness from the us institutes web pages, according to e-mails nature has obtained.
5. Politización de la Ciencia y Erosión de la Confianza Pública.
El contexto general es de una creciente politización de la ciencia y las instituciones de salud pública. Se acusa a la administración de reescribir la historia de la pandemia para ajustarla a una narrativa política, culpar a los expertos y socavar la infraestructura científica, lo que lleva a una disminución de la confianza pública.
- Everything he said is wrong. The nih is a boon to states economically. It did not, in any respect, cause the pandemic. This is lab leak bullshit. And the final claim is just an open admission theyre imposing rightist ideology on science. Its a war on science this administration is waging.
- Because this administration isnt interested in science. Its interested in grievance. In rewriting the story of the pandemic to fit a political narrative. In tearing down anything associated with the experts, the establishment, or most damningly joe biden.
- Trump banned federal funding for pandemic research. Not because its unsafebut because its inconvenient to his narrative. Quote no government money for any research involving enhanced infectious pathogens. Silencing science is a classic authoritarian move.
- The regime claims that the nih caused the pandemic with gain-of-function research, that masks dont work disinformation and that vaccines are dangerous disinformation.
- The motive for the nihcdc cuts is not mysterious. During the covid pandemic, the pro-trump movement acquired a deep hostility to medical expertise. Refusing vaccines became a test of tribalpartyideological loyalty for maga republicans. Medical science became an enemy.
