Well said. It's not about "wokeness" but about excellence in research. If we limit our scope we end up with biased and faulty research. Just like how if we only have the opinions of (male) extremists we will run the country very poorly and "accidently" kill many people - through diseases, climate change, natural disasters, cancelled research programs and so on. We have to collect and gather data and research where we can. Covid aware people have been doing this for the past 5 years against the tide of "its only a cold".

Thank you, everything stated is so logical and critical for advancement and progression. There has to be a ‘fight back’ in the US otherwise so much will be lost quite quickly and clearly difficult to re-establish as time goes on. I’m not sure how that can happen as we watch destruction in every direction.

You're using logic and reason, which are of no interest to Trump, who famously doesn't read anything longer than one side of A4 and according to many senior people from his first administration doesn't understand much of it anyway. He doesn't want better research, he wants no research so there's even less opposition to his worldview.

Trump can't read. Well known fact.
