Evidence-based government policymaking should not be politicized but should strive to promote progress and benefit all Americans. Unfortunately, the expertise needed to formulate sound policy and make wise decisions is unlikely to come from many of President-elect Trump’s appointees. Innumerable agencies and departments work together to guide federal science and technology policy.

As the United States prepared for a new presidential administration, Nautilus, and the Aspen Institute asked eminent scientists from across the country to offer recommendations for its science and technology agenda.

The folks at the City Journal must not be aware of the quip, “When you’re in a hole, stop digging.” They continue to make insupportable, disproved claims about the lack of effectiveness of masks to prevent COVID-19.

Rear Admiral Deborah Friedrichs, head of the White House’s Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response Policy (OPPR), immediately set her sights on curbing the virus’s spread.

When dairy cows in Texas started falling ill last spring, alarm bells started to ring. Veterinarians had found feverish cows struggling to breathe and yielding barely any milk alongside rotting dead barn pigeons and dead cats that had eaten the pigeons or drunk contaminated milk.

The recent storms that ravaged Florida and other states affected more than homes and infrastructure. Hurricane Helene inflicted significant damage on a Baxter International drug production plant in Marion, North Carolina, that produced about 60% of all intravenous fluids in the U.S. The FDA has declared shortages of three common intravenous fluid solutions (which are regulated as “drugs”) produced by Baxter.

Misguided COVID-minimizers like to say that COVID-19 is no worse than a cold that lasts a few days and then disappears without any sequelae. They’re so wrong, and the evidence of that continues to mount.
