Nature ran a poll: 3/4 of scientists are considering the exit-door from the US. Leave aside we got this from Doug Cunningham at UPI, un-elected propagandist; and from Glenn Reynolds, likewise. The poll is credible.
'Tis true that many science-appreciators have got to be "Scientists" because they threaded the political needle back when their universities were very Left. However. I do not know that we can say this of Peter "Warp Speed" Marks nor of Steve Sailer.
Trump I believed in cutting red tape from biology. But he was betrayed, as Sailer must admit. Trump II has chosen, in retaliation, that crank Robert Kennedy. MAGA today, also feeling betrayed, has sided with the crank. You cannot today support THE VAXX in a conservative comment-board without getting dogpiled by selfappointed demon hunters.
Meanwhile creationists, about the clearest example of antiscientific grifters as can possibly exist, are feeling their oats.
If I were any kind of biologist, to the point of a practicing MD, I too would feel unwelcome in Trump's America. Expect rationing and/or higher premiums; expect to import any useful cancer medication. In the face of the epidemics which Kennedy's FDA will give us.
