The association of free speech with 'The Right' is a very unhealthy trend in our culture.

Is the objective really to abolish medical research in the US and cut off the next generation of scientists? That doesn't benefit anyone. I just don't get it. This is where the graphs came from. 4/4 github.com/dhoconno/repor…
