You would think trump and the many old politicians would be more interested in this and really any health research.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

They are too old to benefit and fuck future generations is their mindset.
I mean if you draw breath I don't see how your to old to benefit. You can't really say when new things will be figured out and if your immorally rich you can go do it before its gone through testing if you desperate.
Brilliant move. Now GOP donors will forget that they just wrote you a check, so they'll write you another one
Makes sense because Trump will forget he received the checks.
They are silent, because they have alzheimers, and aren't sure what it going on.
My step dad is exactly that. A Republican with dementia. The irony.
This is all a result of decades of the GOP and Mitch McConnell's policies of "Whatever the Democrats are in favor of, we must be against, no matter what" and "Ban it and everything associated with it." taken to their most extreme extremes.
They were against Covid vaccines and wanted them banned. When people asked "what about other vaccines", it became "ban them too". Science? Fuck it, science is bad, ban that too! And without science, who needs research? Might as well get rid of that. Just teach the kids the truth: God created everything, you don't need science, and that cough will go away eventually......
<> Don't need Alzheimer's research if people aren't gonna live long enough to suffer from it!
Me smart, see!
I knew they secretly hated Ronnie Reagan lol
Really? I guess he feels his treatment is working well enough
They may have forgotten their talking points.
We were funding something? Don't remember.
