Trump's early actions on health agencies roil medical researchers

The article from MSN discusses how former President Donald Trump's early actions during his presidency significantly impacted health agencies and medical research. Trump's administration made several controversial moves, including appointing individuals with little to no public health experience to key positions, such as Tom Price as Health and Human Services Secretary and Scott Pruitt to lead the Environmental Protection Agency. These appointments, along with budget cuts and policy changes, led to a sense of uncertainty and disruption among medical researchers and public health officials. For instance, the proposed cuts to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) were met with widespread concern over the potential setbacks in medical research and public health initiatives. Additionally, Trump's skepticism towards climate change and his administration's rollback of environmental regulations further complicated the landscape for health research, particularly in areas like environmental health. These actions not only affected morale but also potentially delayed or altered the course of critical research projects.
