, Cuban likened Trump’s action to what occurs following a business acquisition. “Trump is doing what you do after you acquire a company,” Cuban wrote. “Crazy, I know. But reality.

This funding supports groundbreaking studies, clinical trials and even university and biotech startups working on innovative treatments and diagnostics. As Forbes reports, it has led to significant advancements, such as the HPV vaccine, which has reduced cervical ******* deaths by 65% since its FDA approval in 2006, and rituximab, a breakthrough antibody therapy for *******.

, “I cannot stress enough the damage this will do to people and U.S. supremacy in research.” The consequences could go beyond short-term setbacks, endangering the 34% decrease in ******* death rates since 1991.
