 “If DOGE plans go through, U.S. scientific leadership will end.” American scientist – on Musk’s health care reform

 

In the coming days, the US Senate is expected to confirm Jay Bhattacharya as the new director of the National Institute of Health. This decision is awaited not only by the staff of the organization and scientists of the United States. The key institution of American science has been subjected to purges and pressure from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is headed by entrepreneur and billionaire Elon Musk. Why the reforms initiated by Donald Trump’s people are reminiscent of the situation in Germany in the 1930s and how the DOGE plans threaten the development of advanced science – this was told to T-invariant on condition of anonymity by the head of one of the laboratories of the National Institute of Health.
