Censorship is a hallmark of fascism.
Authoritarianism thrives on misinformation and a lack of information.
Attacking the free press, scientists and dissenting voices is often one of the first signs of a failing democracy.
A number of staff at the NIH have signed a letter titled “I Dissent”.
Three are bravely seen on video discussing the reasons they’re taking a huge risk to career & their lives by speaking out.
“Every day I go into the office I wonder what ethical boundary I will be asked to violate.”
“What probably illegal action will I be asked to take?”
“You can get another job, but you cannot get another soul”
I hope people share this far and wide. Say “I dissent!” With them.
