Over 10,000 federal employees were abruptly laid off in vicious and humiliating fashion, crippling our nation's ability to keep our food safe, cure diseases, and inform the public about threats to our health.
Among those laid off include some of the top scientists and doctors in the country who work to cure deadly diseases, including the doctor behind breakthrough Parkinson's research, Dr. Richard Youle, and the nation's top doctor in charge of fighting bird flu. Dr. Youle recently won the Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences for his groundbreaking research identifying mechanisms behind Parkinson's disease, in a ceremony attended by Elon Musk.
Our country will be set back decades by these cuts, adults and children will needlessly die, and we will suffer immensely, all to save a few pennies here and there while the gargantuan military budget remains untouched. "We've had a lot of devastating days, but this really is unfathomable," Wendy Armstrong, director of infectious diseases at the University of Colorado, told The Bulwark. "It's astounding, it will affect patients with all kinds of different kinds of infections, and Americans will suffer, and people will die, and that's a horrible thing to see coming."
Dr. Youle and the rest of these scientists MUST be rehired immediately and put back to work curing Alzheimer's, Parkinsons', cancer, and every other deadly disease that claims thousands of Americans every year. People's lives depend on it!
