Comment on Trump admin shelves Cyclospora research despite record-breaking outbreak

The headline and the article itself are very confusing. In one part it says, and I quote “the research is still funded”.

Why did you not include the rest of the sentence in your quote?

Research isn't carried out by money, but by people with experience AND money. You need both

One can find new researchers, right? What was the plan for once these researchers retire?

As explained in the article (...), they won't even have a parasitologist, and cyclospora specialists are rare.

How about you read the article and then post? Both your questions would have been answered that way. If these are bad faith arguments, then have the day you deserve.

Worth calibrating your level of alarm with impact of cyclospora on the human body:

It is unpleasant but not particularly dangerous.
