"When the government shuts down, research at the National Institutes of Health is disrupted, delaying clinical trials, discoveries and, most tragically, help for the millions of Americans living with or at risk of Alzheimer's. My mother suffered terribly with dementia, and I am passionate about finding a cure. That's why I've taken part in clinical trials at UC Davis. These trials are part of the research to find diagnostic tools for early detection of Alzheimer's and eventually a cure for the disease."
"My family and I own convenience stores in Brentwood, and I'm beyond frustrated. If stores selling tobacco happen to be within 500 feet of a school, their tobacco license is gone after Oct. 9. No consideration is given for years of investment, compliance or livelihoods. How is that fair? Instead of targeting products that actually appeal to kids, Brentwood banned all e-cigarettes, even FDA-approved ones meant to help adults quit smoking."
Congressional shutdowns disrupt NIH operations and delay Alzheimer's clinical trials, discoveries, and help for millions living with or at risk of the disease. Participation in clinical trials at UC Davis aims to advance diagnostic tools for early detection and eventual cures, and trial enrollment is encouraged at alz.org/trialmatch. A Brentwood ordinance removes tobacco licenses for retailers within 500 feet of schools, threatening neighborhood convenience stores and livelihoods. The ordinance bans all e-cigarettes, including FDA-approved cessation aids, rather than restricting youth-targeted products as other localities have done, raising concerns about fairness and effectiveness.
