Say Welensky & Welensky in today's J of American Medical Association: "The stakes for the NIH and US science could not be higher. It is impossible to overestimate the transformative impact of federal fund- ing on science and medicine. The NIH proudly counts 174 Nobel Prize laureates among its research staff or grantees.8 NIH-funded Nobel laureates have achieved groundbreaking discoveries, from the inven- tion of PCR (polymerase chain reaction) and the development of CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) gene editing to the identification of hepatitis B and C viruses, telomeres, restriction enzymes, and prions. Their research elucidated fundamental mechanisms that led to lifesaving antiretrovirals, vaccines, statins, and cancer therapies, advancing medical breakthroughs that have benefited every US family, regardless of income or political affiliation. What is at stake is not conceptual or theoretical or ivory tower but instead intimate and personal. This is about the health of your grandmother and grandfather, your mother and father, your sister and brother, your children and grandchildren, and your spouse. This is realism, not alarmism."
