This is an important insight. Thank you for giving voice to their words. The shift at the NCI from the Board of Scientific Advisors to an ad hoc working group. Less accountability. Less visibility.

Yes, this development at NCI is very concerning.

Where is Congress in all of this? Ceding its authority yet again. This reflects such a sad state of affairs. Thank you for such a detailed article presented in an easy to understand way. I’ve got one immunocompromised kid in college right now and I’m afraid for his health on a daily basis due to the measles outbreaks. This is such a shame what is happening and people are dying because of it. RFKjr should never have been confirmed by the Senate. Every Republican senator and lone Democrat Fetterman who voted to confirm him are equally to blame for the deaths, and for the destruction of the NIH and all other institutions.

I agree. The blood is on the hands of the GOP for allowing this to happen. So tragic.
