That's not true. My husband has a DBS device. There are enough terrible things happening without making things up.

I didn’t say they took it away. I said the research end of it is up for defunding.. As is cancer research, etc. I did not make that up

Oh, I see your point... Yeah, basically MAGA isn't funding medical research--after all, they have to pay for gold-leafing the entire White House--but I don't want people to think that DBS isn't available. It is. And research IS still being funded by private entities, like the MJ Fox Foundation.

Start making your Trump neighbors and relatives answer. They rethink when you confront them face to face. I live in an area with a lot of NIH funding. I point out the job losses. When a lady at the gym asked me about ivermectin I asked her if she used it to treat her scabies. Think it through.

Tired, leaky brain. @columbojones2.bsky.social

Those crazies kept me from getting ivermectin. I almost died, from scabies.

Oh no! It figures. My grandmother had Parkinson's and it was awful for her. Such a vibrant woman, suddenly unable to do most things. 😭😭😭

Your elites were stealing from all of us. BILLIONS disappeared which COULD fund these technologies but you'd rather make the wealthy wealthier. Blame yourself! WE take in $5 trillion per year but spend $7 trillion. What would your family's life be like after an economic collapse?

Yes. NIH funding. These are university research innovations. Elon’s Neuralink is still getting money. Musk got rid of his competitors. Lease pass it on. Scientists can’t be activistsβ€”it’s a catch 22.

This is why we actually research candidates' positions, instead of just taking in "vibes" from TV ads, and go out and vote. Millions of people *will* suffer and die, no hyperbole, because of the damage this administration is doing to science and support for the vulnerable.

Yep, but I am glad to see that someone is still carrying that torch! It is a win for humanity. Borders be damned.
