Less than 10 years ago, Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan said their foundation was going to try to find a cure for ALL diseases. Now @zuck has supported Trump's defunding of the National Institutes of Health, whose research and support has done more to help end, cure or treat diseases ranging from cancers to infectious diseases than almost any other organization in human history. Genuine villainy. https://chanzuckerberg.com/newsroom/can-we-cure-all-diseases-in-our-childrens-lifetime/

Where did you see that Mark "supported Trump's defunding of the NIH"?
That would be contrary to everything Mark and many of our colleagues at Meta stand for. Starting with me.

But I'll make it simple: Zuck supports Trump; Trump defunds the NIH; ergo Zuck supports the defunding of the NIH (until he makes *very* evident otherwise).
But, as Upton Sinclair shared:
“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”
