Even more: mRNA. Trump is trying to kill mRNA research because he sees it as tied to the politics of COVID.

Good science is not political. Politicians making it so are idiots at best and evil at worst. See also "Hanlon's Razor"

To me, as an HD widower, it would have meant that my dead wife would had lived until 2043 and had a decade more of a mostly normal life.

It always seemed that an mRNA treatment was going to be the way forward for treating HD, speaking as an HD widower.

And here my government is actively working to suppress mRNA therapies because of fucking politics. Fuck them.

There's little money to be made with HD. It's a 1 in 30,000 disease. There's been little reason for anyone other than state sponsors to support its treatment. Add this to the reason's to be disgusted by capitalism. Spoken as a widower of an HD wife.
