At least some folks can be sensible, if only slightly

No, I insist - you go first.

No, please. It's your call.

No no no. If the answer is that obvious then even you can find it. Please. Be my guest.

Per the AP
"The money that was paused came from the Defense Department and the Department of Health and Human Services."

Nothing has been finalized yet. $175 million supposedly.

You brought the topic up so give us some specifics regarding halting of cancer research.

Despite this, faculty across seven different schools received stop work orders last week on federally contracted research, amounting to approximately $175M. These contracts include research on preventing hospital-acquired infections, drug screening against deadly viruses, quantum computing, protections against chemical warfare, and student loan programs.

Oh, so I can see, it may not come from cancer research. Just other life-saving stuff.

It’s definitely important to make sure that swimmer never swims again, so schools know that if they let that happen, research dries up and people die.

What strikes me interesting about this whole chain of thought, is that people like BiT are okay with this, because they think cancer is a big conspiracy. They’re probably researching new ways to create cancer, right? So he think it’s a double win.

Those who exist in the reality-based world understand it’s different. Those of us who work in hospitals, where we see people dying of all sorts of disease know how vital research is, and how it’s not a conspiracy. Sometimes we’re just trying to do what we can to stay afloat emotionally as we work to keep our patients alive.

Cutting medical research because of Lia Thomas is a moral abortion.

I don’t think it’s a deflection. He said it very recently on the board. I then pointed out Gardasil, which I assume he opposes because it’s a vaccine, and he never responded.

It’s shithouse rat crazy that he thinks researchers are more evil than Derek Chauvin.

The California Interscholastic Federation, which runs the state’s high school track and field championship, is walking a narrow line to follow state law that allows trans athletes while being fair to girls by birth. They allow additional students In races with a trans competitor, and give out extra medals if a trans girl earns one.

I'm afraid I'm not going to be "sensible" about this. Sex is determined by chromosomes. Period. I will go with the science. And the patently obvious.
