Science is.being significantly diminished by the Trump administration through various actions that undermined scientific integrity, research, and environmental protections. ? Key ways science was affected are as follows. Nevertheless, you should know that these actions occurred during Trump’s first term (Trump 21.0) in office.

It’s true. The URL COVID.gov was hijacked. If you click COVID.gov, you will be taken to a White House page. The words “LAB LEAK” will flash at you as Trump walks toward you. The page once existed on the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). When it was a CDC page, it was a page that provided lots of information about COVID-19.
