In recent days I have been inundated by reports out of HHS and particularly NIH (National Institutes of Health) and NCI (National Cancer Institute). I hope you will keep inundating me. You can find out how to contact me through encrypted channels in the footer of this post. Since it\u2019s time consuming to dig in and confirm each individual thread of the story, which I\u2019m in the process of doing, I want now to give you the broad picture. And the broad picture is bad. It\u2019s nothing less than a very concerted attempt to shut down medical research across the United States.<\/p>\n
