The Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) has canceled a significant $275,000 contract for research on cancer among firefighters exposed to World Trade Center toxins. This decision has raised concerns among first responders and health advocates about the long-term impacts on identifying and covering cancer cases linked to the event. FDNY Commissioner Robert Tucker described the cut as a tragedy for Americans committed to remembering 9/11 responders, while advocates highlight the critical role of such research in expanding health coverage for new illnesses affecting 9/11 workers.
A tragedy for all Americans who swore they would never forget.
The research is vital to the 9/11 community because it allows us to add illnesses to the bill as we move forward.
In 2013, no cancers had been linked to the World Trade Center toxins. Today, 69 cancers. Why? We know this because of the research.
'Never forget' isn't a slogan, it's a promise. We'll fight like hell to stop Elon Musk and his cruel incompetence.
