The Trump administration is restoring financial support for a landmark study of women's health, an official said Thursday, reversing a defunding decision that shocked medical researchers.

"These studies represent critical contributions to our better understanding of women's health," said a statement from Andrew Nixon, a spokesman for the Department of Health and Human Services.

The decision was made because the National Institutes of Health, which funds the Women's Health Initiative, or WHI, has "initially exceeded its internal targets for contract reductions," Nixon said. "We are now working to fully restore funding to these essential research efforts."

The turnabout was a relief for scientists in the field, though they were still awaiting official confirmation that the defunding had been reversed.

1. "In a minute there is time for decisions and revisions which a minute shall reverse." TS Eliot . . .

Trump has a down-pillow mind. He acts on the impressions left by the last person with whom he speaks. There is no thought, no plan, no rationale . . . just the mindless blitherings of a fading idiot.

There are no eyes here
In this valley of dying stars
In this hollow valley
This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms

4. Easter week rope-a-dope. Throwing us a bone because the heat is getting to be too much. Keep up the pressure!

Keep the protests going, especially the Tesla ones- its really working, and Trump gets jealous the E-pig is getting all the attention!

6. Women continue to die from miscarriages the consequence of Trump.

This is a result of political backlash – Trump couldn’t care less about the well-being of women.

7. They must've realized "stopping DEI and the trans" went too far.

Whitewashing Jackie Robinson and the Tuskegee Airmen, then removing ALL "women's" issues from health funding in the name of "protecting women from transgenders"...what a mess.

8. "DEI" includes women too, who would be considered targets to be banned

so that is what triggered them to take it out (like they had censored the many "firsts" by women and removed the women in the military hierarchy).
