As the #NIH slashes funding for research into #Alzheimer's, #cancer, #COVID & #diseases that inflict pain & suffering, I'm heartbroken & furious. #Early-onset Alzheimer's took my father away from me &, more importantly, himself. Why would anyone in their right mind (right, the mind of the #fascist is almost incomprehensible) do such a thing? If nothing else, a selfish viewpt. says this is idiocy. These cuts are meant to bring us to our knees. Let's resist (& sue them into oblivion).

Massive, Unarchivable #Datasets of #Cancer, #Covid, #HIV and #Alzheimer's Research Could Be Lost Forever
Days before RFK announced 10,000 #HHS staffers would lose their jobs, a message appeared on #NIH research repository sites saying they were "under review." Unlike other government datasets or web pages, downloading or otherwise archiving NIH data often requires a Data Use Agreement between a researcher institution and the agency.

These are some #NIH grants that have been canceled. Pediatric research? #Alzheimer's? #Covid? Pregnancy & assault? If anyone thinks they aren't affected by #RFK's idiocy, they are living in Lala land.

In this link, researchers describe the work, its benefits, & the impact of its termination. Read it & weep & then write, call, vote, protest -- but don't back down! If anyone thinks it's happening to "them" & not you, think again.

Could the #Shingles Vaccine help to prevent Dementia?

Neurotropic herpesviruses may be implicated in the development of #Dementia.

This study found that the zoster #vaccine reduced the probability of a new dementia diagnosis by approximately one-fifth over a seven-year follow-up period.

Despite the enormous health and economic impacts of #Alzheimer’s disease, effective treatments and preventative measures are lacking.

Emerging evidence such as this suggests that viruses in the herpes family that target and affect the nervous system might be involved in the development of Alzheimer’s disease.

#Cortez-Masto asked #CoryBooker re: these HHS cuts. Acc. to the #Alzheimer's Association, "Bipartisan Alzheimer’s programs like the Building Our Largest Dementia (BOLD) Infrastructure are now at risk due to a reduction in staff & resources. BOLD strengthens Alzheimer’s public health efforts, such as increasing early detection & diagnosis, reducing risk & supporting #caregivers. Congress reauthorized BOLD last year w/unanimous support."

Defend BOLD here.
