Almost unimaginable, except that nothing from DT is that. (Shutting down War on Cancer)

There are so many promising advances underway here and midway through - all to be discontinued?

I'd feel just the same if I hadn't bumped into two bouts of breast cancer in ten years myself (Not the same kind, which is promising. And more good news there - only 5% chance of recurrence).

I just HATE it when any research is halted in the middle. It's not just trashing future findings but wasting all those years of hard work and expensive equipment in the past!

I wonder what would happen if someone with the last name Trump were diagnosed with it...

@Amanda yep, it’s really and truly awful. It makes no sense. Taking money away from truly impactful activities, while spending money on ridiculous things (like rebranding gov’t departments…)

Today's research is not likely to be of any benefit to a 79 year old man. That may be the point. He will probably fall into his own gastro system and half way through the exit when he goes.

He is probably alive today because of the rapid research done to mitigate Covid.
