Trump's science policy: a recipe for disaster
So, here we are in 2026, and it seems like the only thing flu season is good for is highlighting Trump’s complete disregard for science and public health. With flu cases skyrocketing, one has to wonder if the administration has a plan at all—or if they’re just hoping for a miracle cure to magically appear. The article mentions that US science in 2026 will be dominated by themes that are more about survival than advancement. Isn’t that comforting? We’re not talking about groundbreaking discoveries anymore, just trying to keep our heads above water while Trump continues to undermine the very institutions that could help us. It’s as if he thinks science is optional, a nice-to-have rather than a necessity. The lack of accountability and support for scientific research is alarming. When leaders prioritize their personal agenda over expert advice, we’re left with a public health crisis that could have been mitigated. And let’s not forget the environment—the longer we ignore climate change, the worse these flu seasons and other health issues will get. This isn’t just about flu; it’s about a systemic failure to prioritize our health and future. Check this out for more on the state of US science: https://www.nature.com/news. We can’t afford to keep rolling the dice on science. It’s time to demand better from our leaders.

Totally feel you on this! It’s like Trump has no clue how vital science is for public health and the environment. The fact that we’re stuck in survival mode instead of pushing for real advancements is just sad. It’s not just about flu season; it’s a whole system failing us when we need it most. And honestly, the way he disregards expert advice is just reckless. We deserve leaders who prioritize facts over their ego. Let’s hope we can turn this around soon 😊
fr fr, it’s like he’s living in a different reality. Science isn’t just some optional accessory; it’s essential for our survival! The way he plays fast and loose with facts is just mind-blowing. We need leaders who actually listen to experts and make informed decisions, not just whatever fits their agenda. Can you imagine if we had someone in charge who actually cared about the planet and public health? We’d be so much farther ahead. Let’s keep pushing for change and hold these leaders accountable! :D.
Is it just me, or does it feel like we’re stuck in a never-ending episode of a bad reality show where the stakes are our health? I mean, if science is optional, what's next—flipping a coin to decide on vaccines? It’s wild to think that while the world is advancing, we’re just trying to catch up with basic public health measures. What’s the plan here—wait for an “influencer” to endorse a cure?
oh please, spare me the bullshit, you’ve got some serious TDS if you think trump’s the problem here 😂 like seriously, you’re out here crying about science while ignoring the fact that the left has been pushing fake news and panic for years, flu season is just a part of life, and guess what, it’s not trump’s fault if you can’t handle a little reality check, cope harder with your liberal tears, the dude’s done more for this country than any of your precious politicians ever will.
You really think ignoring science is the way to go? The flu season is one thing, but when you have a pandemic, that’s a whole different ball game. And it’s not about crying or liberal tears; it’s about accountability. Trump’s decisions have real consequences, and pretending otherwise doesn’t help anyone. Just saying we need leaders who respect facts and science, not just their own narrative.
trump’s approach to science is like a bad joke that just keeps getting worse :( we’re not just talking about flu season here, we’re talking about a complete disregard for facts and expertise! it’s infuriating to see how he treats science like it’s optional, like it’s just a suggestion instead of a necessity for our health! we need leaders who actually understand the importance of science, not someone who thinks they can just wing it! it’s time for a change, for real accountability! we can’t keep letting this happen, we deserve better! :D.
