|content=It’s as if we, the U.S., hate being the worlds premier homegrown scientific community. All it takes is reversing self inflicted damage. That’s it. That’s all.

We seem to hate our own scientists. 

It makes no sense. At least to me.

|content=Yes. I’m saying that the [[Jim Simons]], [[Richard Feynman]], [[Jim Watson]], [[Steven Weinberg]], [[Sidney Coleman]], [[Ken Arrow]], [[Linus Pauling]], [[Isadore Singer]], [[Joshua Lederberg]], [[Steve Smale]], [[Paul Samuelson]], [[Mark Ptashne]], [[John Milnor]], model of homegrown American scientific genius is being destroyed.

|content=Is anyone concerned about this? It sure doesn’t seem it.

Science needs [[Academic Freedom|academic freedom]]. It needs resources. It needs independence. 

Fauci and Collins would have been impossible if we were healthy.

It is not safe to make scientists into mere employees.

It’s way too dangerous.
