Scholar to Trump and Pence: ‘You can’t insult science’ and then expect a command performance with the coronavirus

‘I don’t expect politicians to know Maxwell’s equations for electromagnetism or the Diels-Alder chemical reaction (although I can dream). But you can’t insult science when you don’t like it and then suddenly insist on something that science can’t give on demand.’

That’s H. Holden Thorp, editor-in-chief of the Science journals. He’s questioning the Trump administration’s rediscovered reliance on science — an area Democrats and select industries argue the White House has severely underfunded — in order to save the world from the coronavirus outbreak, and bolster re-election hopes along the way.

Thorp was writing in a commentary on his publications’ site Wednesday, before the president took to prime-time television for an update on the now pandemic.

The Trump administration’s budget proposals, including the latest one, a $4.8 trillion blueprint submitted last month, have regularly cut federal spending for science, health and the environment. However, requested cuts may hit congestion in the House of Representatives, which holds the purse strings and has a Democratic majority.

The same ones. How do you know that? We are talking about science you went straight into pro-birth. Science is what saves you when you get sick. It is what designs new products. Science is into everything and you go to pro birthiness. Try and deal with the subject.

I looked him up. He sounds really stupid with a severe case of TDS. Perhaps he is part of the reason we are graduating idiots?

What makes him a disease expert?

Who said this back in 2009 when Obama was President?

IMHO, it's just the latest phase in the unholy alliance between the FDA and pharmaceutical industry. When I saw that chick from the WHO declare a pandemic (and if she didn't, I'll take it back), I practically lept from my chair!

The worldwide death toll from this particular strain wasn't even enough to rate a percentage point as to how many people DIE annually in the USA from flu viruses that have been with us ever since I can remember.

Interesting that time tested cures and remedies have to wait YEARS before the FDA decides that they can market with declarations of they cure.....while suddenly VACCINES are being rushed through for the N1H1....a flu viruse that compared to others is NOT even exceptionally lethal.

As the old saying goes, follow the money!

I'm not?!!

My granddaughter’s school has planned a trip to Thailand.

Two things worry me. First, that she or her classmates might be exposed to or catch the coronavirus. Second, that if they did, President Trump would try his best to keep them from returning to the United States.

In my view, if any of them became sick, the first priority should be getting them home where they can have access to the best medical care. In Trump’s view, the first priority is to make things look good for him, no matter what happens to the people he’s stranded.

Therefore he opposed having Americans who were stuck on the Grand Princess cruise ship off Japan return home to the United States. His concern? How the number of infected Americans would make him look. “I like the numbers being where they are,” he candidly (and shamelessly) explained.

Putting politics ahead of science is a prescription for disaster when you face a pandemic.

This is without a doubt the dumbest thing you have posted yet Cartoon Ken. And believe me, that was very hard to do.

he's a Trump-hater who wrote an opinion piece.

BTW, I have information about SK's "service" in Vietnam. PM me for details.

Perhaps science shouldnt have embarrassed itself...

Scholars are judged on the quality of their peer-reviewed publications, not on whether they like Trump. That may change,
I suppose ...

What makes him a disease expert?

He's a professor of chemistry and medicine.
