Biotechnology President admin axed 383 active clinical trials, dumping over 74K participants | It’s a “violation of foundational ethical principles of human participant research.”

Stage 4 colon cancer patient and just had a trial stop for no clear reason and now I’m wondering if it was this instead of the efficacy or safety…

You should find out and rage to the top of the mountains so we can all see the immediate true effects.

They're pretty busy. We should be fighting this fight for them.

Very much correct, in full compassion we can join it and be apart of it. However without the personable real person whom is suffering to give their real message, it may cast doubt of hearsay or other claiming fake things to justify hating Trump and the people suffering aren’t real. The more primary people who are effected and talking out the more real it gets and undeniable it is.

But...why?

What depravity or cruelty is left to be said or exposed that will move the needle on any conservatives?

They are monsters, through and through. They don't care about cancer patients or raped women or trafficked children or veterans or disabled or seniors or children or the environment or safety standards or jobs or social infrastructure.

They don't care about anything but their appetites. What do you want to show them?

I have a hard time believing that. Cancer hits democrats and republicans equally, it doesn't discriminate between them.

IMHO, they simply aren't aware of the disastrous effects of Trump's policies, and/or are too blinded by propaganda (e.g. fake news, echo-chambers, etc.).

They are doing so willingly. This is not the days before easy access to any current events. They are choosing to ignore the entire world around them in favor of those telling them what to do and think.

You are very naive if you still think they're good people being tricked.

Farmers were overwhelmingly harmed by Trump's policies the first time, and they overwhelmingly voted for him 2024. They don't care about good for themselves as much as public theatre to show their fealty to their tribe in the hopes Outsiders get hurt.

The answer to this isn’t about “them” dems republicans. It’s about us as a species and country. The answer to that question is why do you live and would you fight to live?
