NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya posts: The @NIH remains absolutely committed to the health and welfare of our clinical trial participants, so many of whom over the years have been successfully treated and helped advance medical knowledge by orders of magnitude.🧵 1/3 I find it deeply disappointing of Dr. Rosenberg to claim staffing issues are delaying his research, especially in light of the funding alternatives that were presented to him, which he has been slow in pursuing. 🧵 2/3 As to the current re-organization, no clinical trial has been delayed, nor has any participant been dropped from any clinical trial. These are the facts. NIH clinical trial participants and the American people need to know them. 🧵 3/3
Flagging this from #NIH Director #JayLies Bhattacharya. He conveniently fails to link the article he references. Probably because it looks pretty awful when your policies risk cancer patients’ lives. www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

So, has anything changed since we sent the #BethesdaDeclaration?
🚫 Still no direct response.
🚫 Still no invite to that round table Jay Bhattacharya talked about inviting us to. (Not holding my breath, because #JayLies.)

Thank you very much…
Seriously, my grandpa was part of the effort in the DC area to encourage people to take the Sabin vaccine (the oral one).
This is why you don’t know many people who have had polio. #vaccines #jaylies

Bhattacharya fails to mention, in some cases drug manufacturers stepped in to pick up where there were cost-sharing agreements.

High point of my week, signing this. Thanks for wrangling all this support, @jeremymberg.bsky.social. Incredible to watch that list grow!

“I’m not politicizing science, it was Fauci and liberals that did it!”
- Jay Bhattacharya, as he fires a scientific advisor.
Before him, scientific freedom and expertise, not politics, took the front seat. #jaylies

JB reflex is to be defensive (Trump priorities, collab with Congress, before my time) or to feign ignorance (does not know how many terminated, left, which programs cut, etc). Shockingly underprepared. Unable to defend his own budget. #jaylies

Schatz -- Will keep checking on grant appeals.
What do you say to researchers who are leaving the country?
JB -- Starts saying how important young researchers are... #jaylies
Schatz -- Yeah, not helpful. Fine for macro level. Not for individual.
Different people have different genetics, not DEI.

JB -- I have established a process of appeals for terminated grants. Many have been appealed and reversed. It will be done in weeks.
#jaylies -- someone please check WHAT grants have been reversed, how many
Schatz - can we agree that this will not be done again?
JB -- mumbles, uh, well

Shaheen - Don't tell me what the problem is tell me how you are going to address it.
JB -- Research, Narcan, more excellent research fumble. #jaylies
Shaheen -- Hard for me to see how you are going to do any of this.

Sen Shaheen (D-NH). Focus on diabetes and NIDDK institutes is being slashed.
JB - I commit to research in diabetes ( #jaylies -- Not to diabetes institute).
"The budget is a collaboration between the admin and congress. My job is to make sure R&D meet the health needs of the American people."

JB is being a POMPOUS ass.
Sen Murray -- Will there be MORE clinical trials?
JB -- Seems unlikely.
Sen Murray -- You are coming here w a proposed budget I expect you to come more prepared.
Go Senator Murray.

Sen Murray -- How many fewer clinical trials will there be when you cut the NIH budget by $18 B?
JB -- I am working on developing a program for HIV. [ #jaylies -- I have a concept of an idea]. I'd have to get back to you about what has been terminated.
Hard to give an answer, hypothetical Q.

JB -- I am setting up an appeals process for grant terminations and delays. The situtatiion is in flux.
#jaylies -- the flux is the creation of the Trump administration, there is no appeals process yet
Sen Murray -- Lists all the clinical trials that have been cut

Sen Murray -- You said only 25 staff have been fired. But you fail to mention how many have left due to buyouts, retirements.
JB -- I will get these #s.
Sen Murray -- I asked for these #s I was VERY clear.
JB -- My mistak #jaylies -- media has estimated that the staff reductions are over 25%

Sen Britt --- more PR BS about introducing competition into the system, introduce it into the Indirect Cost system. Should not reward legacy.
JB -- Bring support to researchers in places which do not get the NIH funding.
#jaylies -- every grant is competitive and screened rigorously
