Makary up to now has been a close personal ally of #HHS Secy #RFKJr. But Kennedy, who met with Pazdur for an hour on Wednesday, has grown frustrated with the public turmoil, sources say.

Pazdur’s departure has triggered broad concern across the admin, & within the #pharmaceuticals industry, over the potential that it could destabilize the #drug review process & erode confidence in the #FDA, once seen as the world’s gold standard regulators of #drugs & #vaccines.

Pazdur’s departure comes amid wider clashes with #FDA top brass over who should lead the agency’s key departments, & how to balance sped-up #drug reviews with #QualityControl, acc/to 3 people familiar with the dynamics within the agency.

Pazdur’s breaking point happened when Makary pressed him to replace career drug regulators with his own hand-selected hires, those people said.

The Advisory Committee on #Immunization Practices [ #ACIP] approved the change despite fierce objections from #medical groups who said the recommendation had proved a successful #PublicHealth strategy, nearly eradicating the dangerous #virus among #US #children.

This kind of #policy making — the #ACIP childhood #vaccine schedule, combined with not extending #ACA subsidies, adding #WorkRequirements to #SNAP / #FoodStamps & #Medicaid — all coming simultaneously in 2026 — is going to be an assault upon the #poor people of the #UnitedStates all while we are in a #Kshaped #economy with the #WealthGap ever widening.

The #US Is Funding Fewer Grants in Every Area of #Science & #Medicine

A quiet policy change means the #government is making fewer bets on long-term science.

In the past decade, the #NIH awarded top scientists $9 billion in competitive #grants each year, to find #cures for #diseases & improve #PublicHealth.

This year, something unusual happened…

Starting in January, the #Trump admin stalled that #funding. By summer, funding lagged by >$2 billion, or 41% below average.

But in a surprising turn, the #NIH began to spend at a breakneck pace & narrow this gap.

There was a catch, however: That money went to FEWER grants.

Which means less #research was funded in areas such as #aging, #diabetes, #strokes, #cancer & #MentalHealth.

i've made 45 bilingual (eng/esp) copies of the Riot Medicine Field Guide, a concise companion book to the Hakan Geijer's robust protest medic text. i printed these specifically to distribute to action medics, though the content is informative for anyone and functions as a good hook for anyone interested learning more about street medicine.

if you would like one for yourself or as gift to someone ('tis the season!), please email me the address at <fallrise@riseup.net> and i will send one -- i am happy to cover the ~$4 shipping, but am willing to accept donations. if you have a medic crew and would like some for yourselves or for trainings, i can send you a box.

original texts can be found digitally at: https://riotmedicine.net/
