Trump Administration Policies Deepen Global Scientific and Health Risks

Recent findings highlight the ongoing suppression of research, censorship, and international isolation, exacerbating global health and climate challenges.

Budget cuts and staff reductions at key US agencies like the CDC and NIH have weakened disease surveillance and increased global risks for infectious disease outbreaks, including H5N1 avian influenza.
Government censorship has led to the removal of critical health data from public access, obstructing transparency and scientific integrity.
Withdrawal from international agreements like the Paris Climate Accord has contributed to projections of significantly higher global greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
Reductions in climate research funding have impaired the collection of vital data, leading to less accurate forecasting of extreme weather events during a time of escalating natural disasters.
US-imposed restrictions on academic collaboration, including travel and communication limitations, have hindered international scientific progress and isolated researchers.
