I get what you’re saying, but these are also real people with regular daily lives. I know I’ve had intolerable jobs that just drain the life out of me that I needed to leave for my sanity. Asking them to put up with this madness for four years or more depending on who gets elected next (or if elections still happen) is a pretty tall ask.
You might not know many Feds, some are shitbags, most actually give a fuck about the country.
Hell, the vast majority already did four years under trump. And I know I’ll get flack for this, but recent Dem presidents haven’t exactly been great for feds either. Even with all the shit he’s pulling, he won’t match the reduction in force that happened under Clinton when Trump was giving them money.
Before Trump, support of CDC and NIH was bipartisan.
Clinton reduced the size of the federal workforce by ~377k… We literally just got up to the same number of federal civil service employees in like 2024. It took 30 years.
Now, I’ll admit off the top of my head I dont know how many were CDC or NIH…
It’s a tall ask, but these are not normal times, and we need these people to stay in place as long as possible, and resist in any way possible. Their country needs their patriotic outrage on the inside.

Also, probably don’t want to have their names associated with whatever is going to occur at the CDC.
It’s federal civil service…

Clinton doubled the NIH budget and even got the DOD to fund breast cancer research. This played out in a pharma a biotech boom for the next 25 years.
As of 2025, there are no new pipelines for new drugs, no biotechs to startup, and nothing for pharma to develop from 2030 onwards.

But I’m guessing there was some of them.
No, the NIH expanded, as did CDC because of threats like HIV and other viruses.
Guess we’ll just have to take your word on since no source apparently exists…
