[from occupied ga]

Normally I don't read this merde even though I graduated from the place back in the mid '60s, but this is so egregious I thought I'd put it out for everyone to mock. He starts with a condescending, bombastic, onastic, auto-hagiography with multiple instances of the "humble brag" Just reading this "distinguiashed Bloomberg professor's" BS makes me want to get a petition to cut more funding. I couldn't help myself so I insered a few of my thoughts in magenta so they won't be confused for the magnificant Bloomber Professor's words.

[HYPOCRACY]

His research must suck. There isn’t a single fact in that screed.

"...condescending, bombastic, onastic, auto-hagiography with multiple instances of the "humble brag"..."

Definitely...

Money, nothing more.

Gubmint should not fund research. It should fund cures. Cure something, get rewarded.

[Still Thinking]

Absolutely no way anyone would ever research cancer cures were it not for federal funding. What a moron.

[Wuli]

When some funding for some research in a particular area is cut, that does not mean funding for similar research going on somewhere else is also cut. Often more than one academic research lab has multiple projects working on research for the same problem.

[aquila48]

A lot of pigs eating at the trough doing scam research.

[fruser1]

All those bogus climate change and second hand smoke studies going away.

[PeterPrinciple]

That’s the power of science. It’s not about facts and experiments. It’s about making people’s lives better.

[Racketeer]

The USA is sicker than it has ever been and the growth of medicine had everything to do with it.

Medicine for profits is not the cure but a symptom of GREED!!

Is this more of that liberal ‘grant crap’ where 99% of the money goes to ‘research’ on trans/sexual mutilation of children and other sexual kink crap? And 1% goes to curing disease? No thanks.

[RightOnTheBorder]

If this parasite is so close to a cure then I’m sure a pharma company will be eager to pick up the last little bit of funding and cash in on the patents. Oh what’s that, he’s a bullshit salesman with letters after his name and only the wasteful government will give him money? Shocked I tell you.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

I got yer “scientific research” for ya right here; Wiley had to retract 11,000 fraudulent “peer reviewed” papers and shut down 19 “scientific” journals.

Pulling funding as pressure and/or punishment is fine. In doing so, one has to be selective and not throw the baby out with the bathwater. This guy sound like one of the ones to defund. There are others that funding has a return in value to the taxpayer.

“…and walk away from cures within reach…”

When people say words that don’t really mean anything.
