This is really really great. Much credit to the brave scientists who are involved in the suit, the NIH people who provided info, and to @protectdemocracy.org and everyone who has donated for litigating it. HOWEVER, if not for a corrupt Supreme Court, this all would have been stopped in Feb 2025. 1/
