The complaints shed light on much of the internal strife at the agency earlier this year, as the #Trump admin clamped down on the country’s #medical research #funding apparatus.
The scientists drew particular attention to what they described as an administration-wide “hostility” toward #vaccines that they said had taken hold in the upper echelons of the #NIH, long one of the world’s leading engines of #vaccine #research.
The allegations added to a growing chorus of protest from former high-ranking #health officials over what they warned were dangerous & unscientific views about #vaccines gripping the #FederalGovernment & potentially opening the door to preventable infections.
Those policies have not only restricted people’s #access to vaccines, …but also have constrained federally funded #research on future inoculations against #InfectiousDiseases.
