The Trump administration terminated more than $1 billion in National Institutes of Health grants, fired over 1,300 employees, and canceled approximately 1,700 awards, forcing thousands of scientists to freeze research. Cancer, HIV, and childhood brain tumor projects lost funding, jeopardizing labs and delaying potential cures for cancer and Alzheimer's by years. Many new drugs originate from U.S. government-funded research, and the United States spends more on medical research than any other country, producing over half of all new drugs and often delivering therapies to American patients first.
They hoped to make tomorrow's medicines. Then came Trump. This is Camila. She's trying to figure out how cancer spreads across the body. David here is trying to cure H.I.V. And Rachael, she's trying to find new treatments for childhood brain cancer. Or at least they were. The Trump administration has so far terminated more than $1 billion in grants for the National Institutes of Health. It has fired over 1,300 employees. 1,700 canceled awards.
Wow. Thousands of scientists have been forced to freeze their lifesaving research. We've had all of our cancer-related research grants terminated. I don't even know if my lab is going to exist next year. I don't know. And you and the people you love will suffer the consequences in the years to come. Ultimately, it's people who will get cancer in 10, 20 or 30 years who will really pay the price for these cuts.
So many new drugs originate from U.S. government research, not Big Pharma, including those made overseas. Do you know someone with diabetes? Type 2 diabetes? Discover the Ozempic Tri-Zone. Prostate cancer? Xtandi is a prescription medicine used to treat men with prostate cancer. H.I.V.? Descovy for PrEP is a once-daily prescription medicine that helps protect against H.I.V. America is the world champion at inventing new drugs.
