Biden has a plan to protect science from Trump.
No, really.
Stop laughing.
OK FINE, laugh. We did.
The old man who can't define a woman who thinks he was the VP during COVID wants to protect science from Trump.
Alrighty then.
From POLITICO:
In an effort to Trump-proof, NIH has designated an official to identify political meddling in the agency’s work and is tasking a soon-to-be-established scientific integrity council with reviewing those cases. The White House knows Trump could still cast those plans aside but is calculating that doing so will set off alarms with the media, Congress and the public.
The Biden administration likely hopes GOP lawmakers, even those who think the NIH needs an overhaul, will temper Trump’s moves. “Interfering and manipulating science to hit a partisan agenda is inappropriate and is what we’re working to wall against,” Lyric Jorgenson, NIH’s designated scientific integrity official, said in an interview. She added: The plan to protect the agency’s independence is critical because the public needs to be able to rely on NIH to “generate rigorous, trusted evidence to inform public health.”
Trump-proof? Really? If only Trump had Biden-Proofed the entire country ...
Don't look at us, man.
We just work here.
